History of the Peterborough United v Sheffield United fixture

Sheff. Utd. travel to take on Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Tuesday evening, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Victory has been gained on 3 of the 4 previous occasions for The Blades.

The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was amazingly over twenty years ago, in September 1984, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Cup match.
