Danny Cowley names an unchanged side for this afternoon’s encounter with struggling Wigan.

The bench also remains the same for the DW Stadium fixture on a nippy day in Lancashire.

That means Ronan Curtis continuing in attack, with the club missing John Marquis (banned), Ellis Harrison (knee) and Jordy Hiwula (ankle).

Ben Close who has been an impressive presence since his return to the team, is again in the centre of midfield.

Overall, Cowley has kept the same 18-man squad which won 2-1 against Rochdale on Good Friday.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Whatmough, Raggett, Brown, Naylor, Close, Harness, Williams, Jacobs, Curtis.

Subs: Ward, Daniels, White, Byers, Cannon, Nicolaisen, Bolton.
