How Peterborough United go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peterborough drew 1-1 at MK Dons in League One at the weekend, and will fancy home advantage in the cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous at London Road, Posh will back themselves to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Barnsley go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barnsley were beaten 3-0 at Plymouth last time out. Having previously lost 5-1 at home to Stevenage, they travel to Peterborough needing a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low on confidence, Barnsley face a tough trip, but have goals in them on their day.<\/p>\n\n\n
