Posh begin the day just a point off top spot in League One and are looking for a third straight win.

The two sides only met on December 23 with Posh having to come from behind to secure a 2-1 victory with goals from Ricky-Jade Jones and Hector Kyprianou.

Posh will be without Kwame Poku through injury who is likely to be replaced by David Ajiboye.

LIVE: Posh vs Shrewsbury

Free kick Posh on the left in the final third.

Should be that.

That has to be 3-1.

EMC does so well from the long ball up, weights a great ball to Randall running in on goal right in the centre of the box, tries to jink round the keeper but knocks it wide and shoots against the foot of the post, had to be a goal.

Dunkley volleys over the bar from the edge of the box.

Two minutes down.

Shrewsbury are getting on top in this now.

Posh have gone to wing backs.

Fernandez is right centre half.

Emmanuel Fernandez comes on for Katongo.

Shrewsbury bring on Tummise Sobowale for the booked Winchester.

That was a nervy moment.

Free kick sent towards the box by Burgoyne, Shrewsbury win the first header and Bloxham ghosts into space on the right and fires across a ball. Edwards slides in and its not far away from hitting the top corner but it's a corner.

Easily caught by Steer from the corner.

Great counter from Posh.

Almost 3, Randall sends Ajiboye away on the right, he sends over a first time ball towards Mothersille, excellent sliding tackle from Feeney to prevent a simple finish.

Good ball in Randall.

Headed on but then out. Ajiboye does brilliantly to chest down and put it back in but it's cleared again and Shrewsbury try to break.

Prevented by a foul by Knight, he's not booked but Collins is for kicking the ball away.
