The sixth-placed Blues' Championship hopes are fading fast for another season, following a run of form that has seen them pick up just four points from a possible 18.

However, tonight's visitors have not won at Fratton Park since 1997.

It should be another intriguing battle. Kick-off is a 7.45pm.
