Match Preview
Furman out for Latics Oldham boss Paul Dickov will be without midfielder Dean Furman for the home clash with Peterborough. Furman collected his 10th booking of the season in Tuesday's goalless draw at MK Dons and now begins a two-match ban, ruling him out of this weekend's match. However, the Latics hope to have Dale Stephens as a ready-made replacement after he recovered from the virus which has kept him out of the last four matches. Captain and central defender Reuben Hazell was also an absentee against the Dons in midweek due to a back strain picked up in training. He had missed the two previous games through suspension and will be assessed ahead of this fixture. Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson is set to rotate his squad. Ferguson admitted after the 1-1 draw with Colchester in midweek that some of his side were looking shattered following a run of six games in 21 days, so he will make changes. The likes of left-back Tom Kennedy, defender Kelvin Langmead, striker David Ball and wingers Tommy Rowe, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Arron Davies could all come into contention. Central defender Gabriel Zakuani has recovered from a shoulder injury but midfielder Lee Frecklington is set for an operation on his hernia which will keep him out for another month. Striker Dave Hibbert is the only other absentee as he steps up his comeback from a dislocated knee suffered back in November. A win at Boundary Park could see Ferguson's side climb above Huddersfield into third place.

Match Report
Five-star Posh crush Latics Peterborough kept up their bid for automatic promotion from League One with a crushing 5-0 victory at Oldham. The home side were ripped apart after half-time and their own play-off hopes are fading after a dismal run of five games without a goal. Peterborough passed by early chances for George Boyd and Gabriel Zakuani, who failed to hit the target with a header from six yards. Filipe Morais drilled wide for Oldham while Posh's Craig Mackail-Smith should have done better after finding acres of space inside the box. The visitors broke through after 49 minutes as Boyd seized on poor defending and sent in a left-wing cross which Tommy Rowe calmly slotted into the bottom corner from eight yards. Rowe turned provider only three minutes later, heading back across goal for David Ball to nod home a simple close-range header. The blitz continued as Zakuani rose unmarked six yards out to head in Grant McCann's corner from the right. And Mackail-Smith made it four goals in 20 minutes when he raced clean through behind Oldham's defence and comfortably beat keeper Ben Amos from 14 yards. The rout was ended by Mackail-Smith, who hit a stunning volley into the far corner from just inside the box for his 26th goal of the season.
