Wigan 1 Pompey 0
Jordan Cross with the action as it happened at the JJB Stadium in the season finale.
Wigan 0 Pompey 0 FT
Pompey make three changes for the season finale at Wigan. Younes Kaboul, Jermaine Pennant and Armand Traore all come in as a virus sweeps through the Pompey squad. Sean Davis (virus), Glen Johnson (hamstring) and Kanu step down.
David Nugent and Nadir Belhadj are also laid low with illness.
Paul Hart looks set to employ a 4-4-2 formation despite indicating he would employ a more resolute approach.
Wigan: Kinson, Melchiot, Boyce, Bramble, Figueroa, Valencia, Cattermole, Brown, N'Zogbia, de Ridder, Rodallega. Subs: Pollitt, Edman, Watson, Cho, Routledge, Kupisz, McManaman.
Pompey: Begovic, Kaboul, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Pennant, Mullins, Hughes, Traore, Utaka, Crouch. Subs: Ashdown, Primus, Basinas, Cranie, Pamarot, Thomas, Kanu.
00: Wigan kick off.
05: Hughes scuffs a 25 yard shot well wide.
07: Great chance for Wigan as Valencia walks through the Pompey defence and cuts back for Rodallega, but the Honduran blazes well over.

16: Brown drags a shot wide from the edge of the box.
17: Hughes is harshly penalised for a foul on Valencia on the edge of the box, but Begovic superbly tips over De Ridder's effort. The young Canadian then superbly denies Rodallega from the resulting corner.

GOAL! 27: Pompey fall behind as Campbell fails to deal with N'Zogbia's cross and the ball whizzes past Begovic to the gratful Rodallega, who taps in.
32: A lovely flowing move from Pompey sees Utaka streak clear and feed Hughes who tees up Crouch after some nifty footwork, but his shot is blocked and Kingson gathers.
35: Another super stop from Begovic denies Melchiot, who is clean through.
