However, because the Blues reached the FA Cup fourth round – and host QPR on the same day – a new date had to be found.

Pompey delivered a 2-1 win over Rovers at the Memorial Stadium in August.

Gareth Evans and Ronan Curtis were on target.

Former Blues favourite Kyle Bennett will return to Fratton Park for the first time since leaving for the Gas last year.

Ex-loanee Tareiq Holmes Dennis also plays for Graham Coughlan’s side.
