Peterborough United entertain Portsmouth at London Road on Saturday in just one of two npower Championship fixtures this weekend (3pm).

Darren Ferguson's men can open up a 12-point gap from the drop zone with a victory, but Pompey will prove to be difficult opposition.

Pompey have had a difficult week off the pitch with financial issues, but on it, they still have a talented squad and will be gunning for revenge after Posh sneaked a 3-2 victory at Fratton Park earlier in the campaign.

TEAM NEWS

With the exception of long-term injury victim David Hibbert, Posh have a fully fit squad to choose from with Grant McCann, Lee Frecklington and Tommy Rowe now fully fit.

Portsmouth have a small squad, but it is full of quality with Erik Huseklepp among the goals this term. He arrived from Bari in Italy during the summer and is a Norweigan international. David Norris is suspended so will miss out against the city where he was born.
