All you need to know about League Two clash
When Liverpool met Manchester United earlier in the season, it was branded ‘Red Monday’ by Sky Sports.
But there is no need for such hyperbole tonight, as Pompey’s trip to Doncaster (7.45pm kick-off) is broadcast to the nation.
Certainly both sets of supporters know how important the contest is, with the sides locked in a battle for League Two promotion.
It is Rovers who currently sit at the summit, returning there following a narrow victory over Stevenage on Bank Holiday Monday.
Darren Ferguson’s side are seven points better off than the fourth-placed Blues, who have lost just one of their last 10 league fixtures.
And with Doncaster also able to boast that impressive record, it could be a close contest at the Keepmoat Stadium.
It was the Yorkshire outfit who came out on top when the sides met at Fratton Park earlier in the season.
Goals from former Pompey loanee John Marquis and Andy Williams gave them a commanding lead, meaning that Carl Baker’s strike was no more than a consolation.
But the Blues have only ever been beaten once at Doncaster and will be looking to close the gap on the top three to just one point with victory tonight.
TEAM NEWS
Curtis Main is the only player missing for Pompey, while Jamal Lowe could make his debut after signing from Hampton & Richmond.
Striker Liam Mandeville (thigh) is a doubt for the hosts, who will definitely be without Luke McCullough (knee), Gary McSheffrey (groin) and Aaron Taylor-Sinclair (knee).
