The Blues face the Championship outfit at their Robins High Performance Centre.

It’ll be a tough test for Danny Cowley’s side, but one they’ll relish ahead of a renewed League One promotion push.

The Pompey head coach is expected to again field a number of triallists as he continues his summer overhaul.

Norwich striker Gassan Ahadme – who netted a hat-trick against the Hawks – is one set to be involved.

The likes of ex-Doncaster midfielder Madger Gomes and former Swindon defender Akin Odemayo could also be involved.

However, Jake Hesketh – previously of Southampton – has been let go by Cowley.

We’ll be bringing you all the live updates of the clash throughout the afternoon.
