Pompey dropped out of the play-off places without playing during the week.

But they could rise as high as fourth with victory over fellow promotion hopefuls Bristol Rovers at Fratton Park on Saturday.

Darrell Clarke’s side currently sit three places – and two points – above the Blues in the League Two table.

They are looking to head straight through the fourth tier after triumphing in the Conference Premier play-offs last term.

And the Gas have impressed on the road, claiming 27 points away compared to just 20 at the Memorial Stadium.

They were beaten at home to Pompey back in September – a result that briefly saw Paul Cook’s men reach the summit.

Jayden Stockley completed a fine passing move to secure victory after Aaron McCarey’s own-goal had cancelled out Gareth Evans’ opener.

And the Blues will be hoping to complete a league double this weekend to extend their six-match Fratton winning run over the Pirates.

Danny Hollands (leg) is still sidelined, but otherwise Pompey have a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Former Pompey skipper Liam Lawrence could feature for the visitors, while goalkeeper Will Puddy has recovered from a groin problem.
