Blackburn Rovers V Portsmouth

Pompey's results have picked up a little to match their playing form and this is a massive game for them, both clubs find themselves in the bottom three and Blackburn are struggling more than i thought they would this season. They should now be over the Swine flu that hit the club and need to bounce back.

Mystic Jarv predicts a 1-0 to Blackburn.....just, however i could see it going the other way too

Pompey are starting to get the results their performances have deserved over the last few weeks.

They've started to score goals, which has been a real problem, and that brings confidence.

Blackburn will have to cope with the physical and aerial threat of their visitors but they'll be OK and I'm going for a draw and a continued improvement from Portsmouth.

Verdict: 1-1

Portsmouth will be without right-back Steve Finnan for their Premier League trip to Blackburn on Saturday.

The defender is suffering with an abductor muscle problem, but striker Frederic Piquionne should be available, despite being carried off against Wigan last Saturday after taking a knock to his neck.

Papa Bouba Diop (hamstring) and Hermann Hreidarsson (foot tendon) are still on the road to recovery and will not play at Ewood Park.

Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy has returned to training ahead of Saturday's clash.

The South African is back in the Rovers fold after recovering from swine flu.

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has virtually a full squad to choose from with only Vince Grella (thigh) missing.

Teams:

Blackburn (from): Robinson, Chimbonda, Salgado, Givet, Nelsen, Diouf, Andrews, Pedersen, Dunn, Brown, Reid, Jacobsen, Nzonzi, Emerton, Hoilett, Kalinic, McCarthy, Olsson, Jones, Roberts, Di Santo.

Portsmouth (from): James, Kaboul, Mokoena, Mullins, Kanu, Basinas, Belhadj, Vanden Borre, Piquionne, Ben-Haim, Yebda, Dindane, Webber, Brown, Wilson, Ashdown, O'Hara, Boateng, Williamson, Smith.

0-1 Pompey O'Hara

Pompey goal: Not undeserved, and Paul Hart's in-form side lead. Aruna Dindan clips the ball to Jamie O'Hara, who is in acres of space inside the Blackburn half. The on-loan midfielder hits a daisy-cutter from 30 yards that skips off the soggy surface and curls away from Paul Robinson into the bottom left-hand corner of his net.

Blackburn goal: Ryan Nelsen heads down David Dunn's corner and Jason Roberts pokes the ball past Portsmouth goalkeeper David James. Back on level terms - great changes from Big Sam.

3-1 Jason Roberts

Rovers goal: David Dunn sends the ball out wide to the left to Benni McCarthy and he fires over a low cross that Jason Roberts converts at the near post. Sam Allardyce celebrates like Blackburn have just won the league. They haven't - it's not 1995
