The best and worst case scenarios for Peterborough United on Saturday

There are a couple of relegation battles in League One on Saturday.

Grant McCann’s Doncaster Rovers host Blackpool and Northampton Town are at home to Burton Albion. It’s the first match for Cobblers since the sacking of manager Kevin Nolan. His assistant Colin Calderwood is in charge tomorrow.

Blackpool returned to the relegation zone on Wednesday after a crushing 4-1 loss at in-form AFC Wimbledon. The Dons jumped up from 14th to 11th with a fourth straight home win in League One and are just six points off the play-off places. That result dropped Posh a spot to 14th.

Posh can only drop one further place tomorrow, if they fail to win at Orient and Mansfield beat Barnsley at home. Posh could move up three places if they win and the results of Wimbledon, Barnsley and Luton Town go their way. Luton are at Wycombe.

Defeats for Wigan and Blackpool would ensure Posh stay at least eight points clear of the relegation zone. Wigan are at home to high-fliers Bradford City.
