Peterborough United travel to the Completely Suzuki Stadium to face Cheltenham Town in League One action on Tuesday (April 23, 7:45pm).

Posh must win to have any chance of automatic promotion, however slim, while Cheltenham must win or they will be relegated.

Posh will be naming a completely changed side from the weekend, with Darren Ferguson already confirming that he will be resting a number of his key stars.

LIVE: Cheltenham vs Posh

74 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Ajiboye right back now and wins a foul from Taylor on halfway. Yellow for the striker.

Wakeling on for Dornelly.

71 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Taylor drills an effort into the side-netting.

Then from the goal kick, Bilokapic passes to O’Connell, who gets robbed and Nuttall shoots from 3o yards, just wide.

65 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Again, now feels like Posh have had their spell in the half. They’ve not scored this time and Posh are starting to have more possession but still, not much cohesion in this side.

58 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Chance Posh, Mothersille slides a great pass into JCH to run onto and volley first time in the box. Sharp save from Southwood at his nearpost.

Corner headed off the line by Davies after another good delivery from Mills.

57 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Bilokapic getting ironic cheers from the crowd whenever he gets the ball now.

Posh’s midfield is now two young centre-backs and Pemi is upfront alongside JCH.

Jones, De Havilland,

Aderoju, O’Connell on

55 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Fernandez has to turn over his own bar after a good cross from Ferry.

Corner.

Headed over at the near post by Davies.

52 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

My word, Bilokapic almost gifts Nuttall a goal as he tries to control the ball and clear but he misses a kick and has to scramble back to stop a simple tap-in for the striker.

51 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Hard to put into words how bad this is. Sercombe again sees a shot saved by Bilokapic from range. Taylor digs a follow up effort out from the penalty spot, point black save.
