Blackburn Rovers start off 2006 with a home Premiership game against Portsmouth and you can see it live on television as you slump on the couch after over indulging at the New Year.

Pompey, under the stewardship of Harry Redknapp for the second time, picked up a precious three points with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.

The Lancashire side, however, have hit some form of their own and have won three games on the bounce and that sense of rejuvenation should be enough to eventually take the three points against the south coast side. It should be a tough first 45 minutes so take draw/Blackburn at 3/1 with Bet Direct for some decent odds and a good start to the year.
