Good evening, Gasheads, and welcome to live coverage as Bristol Rovers travel to Home Park to face League One title-chasers Plymouth Argyle.

It promises to be an eventful night in Devon with Steven Schumacher's side hoping to take a big step closer to promotion to the Championship, but – with "bad blood" between the dugouts, in Joey Barton's words, there is plenty of motivation for the Gas to strike a blow to the Pilgrims' ambitions, despite there being very little for Rovers to play for when it comes to the league table.

The teams have already met three times this season – once in the league, twice in the EFL Trophy – and this promises to be another entertaining clash between two sides that share a dislike for one another.

Kick-off at Home Park is at 7.45pm. Stay tuned throughout the evening for live updates and reaction.

Full time: Plymouth 2-0 Rovers

Defeat in Devon for the Gas as Argyle take a huge step towards promotion.

The red card proved decisive. Rovers lost their foothold in the game as a result and although they battled hard, they went behind through a moment of genius from Niall Ennis.

Macaulay Gillesphey made it two from a corner soon after.

In truth, Rovers did pretty well to fight it out to the end and concede no more goals. Home Park has been rocking all night and weaker teams would have crumbled and lost by four or five.

Almost a reply from Rovers

Smart play from Finley as he gives his man the slip and breaks down the right. He picks out a cutback for Gibbons, who lashes it first time and it is just wide of the near post with the keeper beaten.
