Bristol Rovers host Blackpool at the Mem on the weekend as they look to extend their unbeaten home run in the league to 10 matches.
The Gas will need to dust themselves down, and quick, following their midweek FA Cup third-round replay exit at home to Norwich City. Wycombe Wanderers were the last side to beat the Gas at the Mem and that was back in August, so Matt Taylor will be hoping that his side can put in a good performance on the weekend to continue this unbeaten league streak.
The two sides only met last month at Bloomfield Road, where Neil Critchley's men ran out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Oliver Norburn, Jake Beesley and star-striker Jordan Rhodes. The Seasider's were also dumped out of the FA Cup in midweek, as they took Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest to extra-time in their third-round replay, where Chris Wood sealed the deal 10 minutes from time.
Both sides will undoubtably feel leggy come Saturday and the Mem faithful will play a huge part in helping Rovers get over the line. We have given it our best shot in predicting the Gas may line-up as a key midfielder is a doubt following Wednesday's cup exit.
Bristol Rovers predicted XI: (3-4-1-2)
5. RWB. Jack Hunt
This one may come as a bit of surprise, as Luke Thomas has been a mainstay on the right flank in recent matches. However, I have opted for Hunt as he is back fit and I think Thomas could benefit from a game off due to heavy load. | Getty Images
6. CM. Antony Evans
Irreplaceable at the moment with the lack of depth in the midfield. As long as Evans is fit, he's a shoe-in to start on Saturday. | PA
7. CM. Luke McCormick
Scored a stunning goal in midweek, McCormick has usually been seen further forward. However we understand Sam Finley is a doubt for this match, as the skipper played the Norwich game with injections and codeine to numb the pain caused by inflammation on his hip. | Getty Images
8. LWB. Harvey Vale
Matt Taylor has the likes of Lewis Gordon back from injury, giving the gaffer a couple of options in this position. I've gone with Vale as Taylor won't want to tinker with his squad too much, as he believes continuity is key. Photo: Pete Norton
