That’s one of five changes Kenny Jackett makes at Home Park from the 2-0 loss against the Hoops.

Bryn Morris comes into central midfield for the suspended Tom Naylor.

Gareth Evans regains the armband, with Adam May dropping to the substitutes’ bench.

Ronan Curtis was suspended for the clash at Loftus Road but makes an instant return to Pompey’s line-up.

And Nathan Thompson starts in a right-back role ahead of Anton Walkes.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Thompson, Burgess, Clarke, Brown, Morris, Close, Lowe, Evans, Curtis, Bogle.

Subs: Bass, Walkes, Haunstrup, May, Solomon-Otabor, Vaughan, Hawkins
