United will be looking to stop a run of six consecutive league defeats on the road when they face rock bottom Peterborough at London Road tonight.

The Posh have lost four of their last six matches, although the other two games ended in wins for Jim Gannon's troops against QPR and Ipswich, with both them coming at London Road.

Ex-Blade Jonathan Stead scored the only goal of the game as Coventry won 1-0 against Peterborough at the weekend, to leave them thirteen points adrift of safety with twelve games remaining.

Henri Camara's strike settled the corresponding contest at the Lane in November, as Mark Bunn saved a penalty from the now departed George Boyd - who recently signed on-loan for Nottingham Forest.

Aaron McLean and Craig Mackail-Smith have both netted seven times in the Championship to date for Posh.
