Peterborough United vs Oxford United: Posh looking for three points to move into the League One Play-Offs
Posh know that a win today and they are definitely in the play-offs due to the fact Bolton contest the EFL Trophy final this weekend.
Derby also host Ipswich but Posh must focus on the job in hand, beating an Oxford side that are winless in 11.
Ten of those were under old boss Karl Robinson, however, rather than new boss Liam Manning, who takes charge of his second game.

Good early ball in from the right from Ward. Burrows goes for the header, got there but never looked like getting it anywhere near the goal. High and wide.

Posh on the front foot here. A couple of promising balls up from Burrows that teammates probably should do better with. Posh moving the ball quickly though.
2 mins 0-0
Looks like it’s 3 up for Oxford in a 4-3-3.
A positive start from Posh though, EMC driving a cross into the box in the opening minute, well cleared.

Team news
Ronnie Edwards is back in training after playing twice for England U20 during the international window. Expect him to contend strongly to come back in.
Kell Watts played 60 minutes for the U21s yesterday, so it is more likely to feature on Good Friday rather than today.
There’s no way to take the pressure off Psoh, it’s terrible.
Oxford have not won any of their last 11 games, drawing just two- against Morecambe and MK.
Ten of those are the fault of Karl Robinson though.
