Good afternoon, Gasheads, and welcome to live coverage as Bristol Rovers embark on their penultimate away trip of the League One season at Peterborough United this afternoon.

Joey Barton is eager for his team to get back to winning ways after three straight defeats for the Gas, but with safety already secured, it is also a chance to look ahead to next season and assess some of the options on the fringes of his squad.

Posh, meanwhile, have plenty to play for, sitting two points outside the play-off places in seventh, and with ex-Gas striker Jonson Clarke-Harris leading the line, they will pose Rovers a stern challenge in Cambridgeshire.

Kick-off at Weston Homes Stadium is at 3pm. Stay tuned throughout the afternoon for updates and reaction.
