Former Mayfield School pair named in Portsmouth side at Cheltenham in Papa John's Trophy
The pair, who were separated by one year at the North End-based school, have retained their places from the Blues’ previous fixture in the competition.
Both are named in a Pompey starting XI which represents a stronger side to the one which last month faced West Ham under-21s in the group stage of the competition.
