Peterborough United host Wimbledon in the quarter-finals of the EFL Trophy at the Weston Homes Stadium (January 30, 7:30pm).

Victory will see Posh into the open draw semi-finals and move just one game away from Wembley.

The key decision for Darren Ferguson tonight will be how strong a side to field and who will fill the spot of the suspended Harrison Burrows at wing back.

LIVE: Posh vs Wimbledon

and that's it.

Tzanev came up for the corner.

It was a great header out by Knight but it came back in twice and Tzanev stayed in the box, third time it comes out to Randall, plays it to Jones and its the simplest thing in the world for him to burst past the last defender and put the ball into an empty net.

Wimbledon corner.

Posh trying to hold the ball in the corner.

They've suddenly woken up since the goal.

Wimbledon's goal come from a corner, header by substitute McLean. Looks like Kyprianou tried to clear the ball but makes a mess of it at the near post and it ends up in the net

What a chance!

Ricky gets free on the left balls comes in, causes chaos, cut back to De Havilland, he rolls in off to Kyprianou to run on and hit, comes back off the underside of the bar.

Posh then cross the ball back into the box to Ricky who heads at goal but Tzanev comes flying out to make the save.

Wimbledon now get a corner, they're still coming.

McLean sees a shot blocked by Edwards.

Good save Tzanev from Randall's shot from the edge of the box. Sidefoot after Jones cut it back to him on the edge of the box.

Brilliant dive from Fernandez to get his head on Randall's ball in, deflected wide from the man on the post.

Second ball goes out of play before it curls back in.

Comes to nothing but it's now five minutes for Posh to see out.

For all of their possession, they've not created a real chance.

Posh straight on the attack, low ball from Fernandez looking for De Havilland has to be put out for a corner

Kyprianou for Fuchs

Fernandez for Katongo

Davison off for Ryan McLean

Morgan Williams for James Ball

Pretty desparate stuff, Posh are really labouring to this win.

Can't clear their lines, can't bring it out.

Fuchs back on and a chance for Posh.

Good ball down the line from Crichlow, Randall latches onto it, cuts inside once he reaches the box but again puts an effort lacking pace into the hands of the keeper.

He limps to the sidelines but looks like he'll be back.

Fuchs down in the box getting treatment.

Jones latches onto a ball from De Havilland on the left of the box, keeper commits himself, Ricky goes past him but has to pull a back back across, no power on it and its cut out.

Looks like Randall has gone to the left wing, De Havilland as a number ten.

Wimbledon are sending dangerous balls into the Posh box regularly now.
