Peterborough United travel to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday in the second leg of their play-off semi-final on Thursday (May 18, 8pm).

Posh head into this match with a commanding 4-0 lead and will be heavy favourites to preserve this lead and book a place in the play-off final but must be wary of complacency.

No side has ever progressed from a Football League play-off semi-final after trailing by three goals or more on the first leg sp Posh will be looking to avoid their own slice of unfortunate history.
