Why it's a big night all over the country for Peterborough United on Tuesday

It’s a big night for Peterborough United on Tuesday...at London Road and elsewhere.

While Posh are battling to keep on the road to Wembley by beating Crawley Town in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy they will also be keeping in touch with events at Bolton, Oxford and Reading.

Posh, who are currently second in League One, will drop out of the automatic promotion places if Derby County gain their expected win at struggling Reading.

And Bolton Wanderers will move to within a point of Darren Ferguson’s side if they beat another bottom four side, Cheltenham Town, at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. The Trotters will also still have a game in hand on Posh.

The biggest game of the night in League One sees sixth-placed Oxford United host fifth-placed Barnsley. Both teams are currently six points adrift of Posh.
