Peterborough United v Sheffield United live stream, Saturday 29 January, 3pm GMT
Peterborough United could climb out of the Championship relegation zone if they beat Sheffield United this weekend.
Posh have not been in particularly good form of late, having taken just four points from their last six matches. Only three sides in the division have worse records in that timeframe; thankfully for Peterborough, two of them - Reading and Cardiff City - are rivals in the relegation fight. Darren Ferguson's side will therefore move above the dreaded dotted line if they beat Sheffield United and Reading lose to promotion hopefuls Queens Park Rangers.
Peterborough brought a run of three consecutive defeats to an end in midweek as they drew 2-2 with Birmingham City. Yet while Ferguson will have been pleased to stop the rot, Peterborough really should have emerged from St Andrew's victorious. They were 2-0 up until the 85th minute yet proceeded to drop two points; moments like that could be looked back upon as decisive at the end of the campaign.
Talking of form, only Huddersfield Town have taken more points than Sheffield United in their last six games. Going back slightly further, the Blades have won five of their last seven Championship outings.
They may even have an outside chance of the play-offs - an eight-point gap is significant, but Sheffield United have as many as three games in hand on the teams above them. This is a team on the up, with Paul Heckingbottom having turned the situation around since his appointment in late November.
Peterborough will have to find alternatives to Dan Butler and Siriki Dembele, who is injured but also continues to be linked with a move away before Monday's transfer deadline.
Sheffield United will have to make do without Morgan Gibbs-White, Enda Stevens and Lys Mousset for Saturday's trip to the Weston Homes Stadium. Adam Davies could make his debut between the sticks after joining the Blades from Stoke City.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT on Saturday 29 January. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
