MANAGER: Graham Rix. This will be the former Arsenal man's first game in charge since taking over from caretaker Steve Claridge. The coach was influential in Chelsea's success under Ruud Gullit and Gianluca Vialli, who stood by him when he went to prison for having unlawful sex with a minor. Parted company with the Blues in November before landing the post at Pompey last week. TOP SCORER: Steve Claridge: Fans favourite Steve Claridge is the Pompey top scorer with 11 goals but he is thinking over his future at the moment. Claridge had been running the show after taking over from Tony Pulis in October. in the Fratton Park hotseat and is disappointed he didn't get longer to prove himself.

Bradbury, Quashie SEASON SO FAR: Portsmouth lie a precarious three points above the drop zone after a disappointing season hampered by injuries. Last won on January 20. ONE TO WATCH: Darren Moore: Moore, an imposing presence in the backline, standing at 6ft 3" and weighing 16 stone.

Nicknamed 'Bruno', the Birmingham-born central defender will be tough to conquer for the Clarets strikers. Made captain this season. BIG MONEY MAN: Lee Mills: Striker Lee Mills cost £1.2m at the start of the season from Bradford City but has been sidelined for four months with a knee injury. Returned last week and has chalked up just 15 appearances and three goals for his new club. PREDICTED LINE-UP: As it is Graham Rix's first game, it will be a bit of an unknown quantity. Portsmouth have used 3-5-2 but with the addition of left back Jamie Vincent, bought from Huddersfield last week for £750,000, could go to a 4-4-2. DID YOU KNOW: It was this week last year that Steve Claridge was charged with betting on his Portsmouth side.
