MATCH THREAD: PETERBOROUGH UNITED v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THR

Salech returns for Cardiff, fit enough for the bench. No Lawlor, but Rubin passed fit.

Cardiff City XI: Trott; Ng, Fish, Chambers, Bagan; Wintle, Turnbull, R. Colwill; Tanner, Kellyman, Ashford.

Subs: Turner, Kpakio, J. Colwill, Robertson, Willock, Robinson, Salech.

Bluebirds

Posh team full of Academy players including one making his debut

Yousef Salech returns! After being out since the end of January, the striker is fit enough to be named on the bench, meaning City have two centre-forwards in Salech and Callum Robinson among the substitutes.

Brian Barry-Murphy perseveres with Omari Kellyman as the No.9.

Rubin Colwill is also fit and starts for the Bluebirds, however Dylan Lawlor's toe injury means he doesn't make the trip to Peterborough.

With no Gabriel Osho, there are no centre-backs on the Bluebirds bench today. Nor is there room for Liverpool loanee Calum Scanlon.

Matt Turner is preferred to January signing Harry Tyrer among the replacements, too.

Positive start from Cardiff as they break down the right through Ollie Tanner and Rubin Colwill, whose attempted flick inside to Perry Ng in the box is just cut out.

They had a good chance then

Kyrell Lisbie is freed down Posh's left, but Cardiff manage to scramble the cross clear.

Strong run from Cian Ashford up the left. He arcs inside and tees up Rubin Colwill, whose hammered 20-yarder is blocked.

Their NO 36 debut Academy for them looks dangerous

Terrible shot by Turnbull

End to end

A bright start to the game with the Bluebirds attacking the Posh defence at every opportunity

Calum Chambers looking to make decent runs and Rubin Colwill already picking up the baton

Someone hit the ball, please!

Great intricate move but it’s a wasted opportunity for someone to score first the Bluebirds!
