The English Championship continues this weekend and will see Peterborough United host Sheffield United at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday.
Peterborough United are currently struggling to adapt to the Championship demands. They played out a 2-2 draw against Birmingham City last time out, squandering a two-goal lead in the final five minutes of the game.
The home side sit in the relegation zone in 22nd place with just 20 points from 26 games. They can exit the drop zone with a win at the weekend and will be targeting that.
Sheffield United picked up a 2-0 win over Luton Town in their last game, with goals from Rhian Brewster and Jack Robinson. The win for the Blades ended a three-game winless run across all competitions.
The visitors sit 12th in the Championship standings with 36 points picked up so far. They will now be looking to build on their latest result when they take on Peterborough United at the weekend.
