Peterborough United host Reading in League One action on Boxing Day (December 26, 3pm).

Posh still sit second and have now won five of their last six league matches, drawing the other away at Stevenage.

Reading meanwhile sit 21st but have shown signs of life in recent weeks, beating Wigan on Saturday and winning three of their last six league matches and drawing two others.

Will Posh be tempted to make changes with Barnsley and Derby coming up?

LIVE: Posh vs Reading

Mukairu and Mbengue off

Clinton Mola and Ben Elliott on

It's all Posh right now.

Burrows with a great ball to the backpost, Poku peels off the marker and puts an absolutely pathetic header at goal. Directed at the corner flag with no power. Like a 5-year-old attempting his first header.

Mbengue booked for dissent as EMC breaks down the left and ends up winning a corner.

Posh have the ball in the net from the resulting corner, second phase when Collins swings in a ball to Kyprianou to slide in at the backpost.

Great move but counts for nothing.

Sam Smith replaces Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan

Played short to Abbey on the left edge, who just puts a ball straight out of play.

Reading now win a corner after a couple of good minutes.

Posh win another corner.

Randall ball in sails right over the keeper but headed away by Abbey.

Second corner falls loose in the middle of the box but no blue shirt can react quick to turn it into a chance.

EMC now wins a Posh corner on the same side.

Good start for Posh, Randall sent free on the right, great turn and sends in a low ball, diving block from Holmes, back out to Burrows on the edge of the box next to him. Fires in another ball that Button has to punch clear.
