Forget about Manchester City taking on Real Madrid in the Champions League – the big upcoming games are taking place in League One.
This weekend sees a couple of massive clashes in the race for promotion to the Championship, including a second versus third contest between Derby and Bolton.
Meanwhile, table-topping Pompey make the trip to London Road to face an in-form Peterborough side who occupy fourth spot (3pm kick-off).
Darren Ferguson’s men looked to have slipped out of the reckoning following a five-match winless run that included four successive February losses.
But they have since stormed back from the setback with five victories in a row that leaves them four points behind the second-placed Rams with a game in hand.
The most recent three-point haul came on Wednesday night, as Harrison Burrows, Jadel Katongo and Kwame Poku all struck in a 3-1 home triumph over Stevenage.
There is also the excitement of a Wembley trip to look forward to for the Posh, who face Wycombe in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy final next month.
Pompey have already faced Peterborough twice at Fratton Park this season – with those meetings taking place in the space of a few days last summer.
The visitors won on penalties in the second round of the Carabao Cup, but the Blues hit back to win 3-1 in the league, courtesy of goals from Colby Bishop, Abu Kamara and Regan Poole.
TEAM NEWS
Callum Lang and Anthony Scully are both doubts for Pompey with minor ankle problems, but Jack Sparkes should be available following a similar issue.
Ben Stevenson is back in full training having recovered from a knee injury, although Saturday’s game is likely to come too soon for the midfielder.
Tino Anjorin (hamstring), Terry Devlin (shoulder), Josh Dockerill (knee), Tom McIntyre (ankle), Joe Morrell (knee), Connor Ogilvie (knee), Regan Poole (knee) and Alex Robertson (hamstring) are still sidelined.
Hector Kyprianou is suspended for Peterborough after collecting his 10th booking of the season earlier in the week.
Will Blackmore (hip) and Jeando Fuchs (knee) are both long-term absentees, while James Dornelly (ankle) and Jacob Wakeling (ankle) are doubts.
