Fulham's home match against Blackburn has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The cold weather has severely disrupted Saturday's programme and Portsmouth's clash with Manchester City was called off earlier on Saturday.

The game at Craven Cottage has become the second Premier League contest to be scrapped due to concerns over the surface.

Referee Rob Styles had hoped the match would go ahead but deemed that a small area of the pitch was unplayable.

The decision was taken at an inspection in early afternoon, less than two hours before the scheduled kick-off.

Fulham had been hoping to extend their good run of form, while Blackburn were looking to climb out of the relegation zone.

The fixture will now have to be rearranged but no date has yet been set.
