Pompey have already played Rovers in the Youth Alliance south west division this season, romping to a 6-2 victory at the club's Roko training base. 

Mark Kelly's side reached the third round of the competition last season.

Following victories over Gillingham and Lewes, the Blues faced Leicester in the third round. 

Pompey delivered a decent performance against the Foxes but missed a number of clear-cut chances and fell to a 2-1 extra-time defeat.
