As Fratton Park welcomes back 2,000 supporters for the first time in March, the Blues’ boss has stuck by the team which performed so disappointingly at Blackpool.

The vast majority of Pompey’s attacking players failed to make an impact in that 1-0 defeat at Bloomfield Road.

However, Jackett recognises their talents which have established his side as League One’s top scorers.

The sole change to that 18-man squad is Bryn Morris returning to the bench in place of Haji Mnoga.

Meanwhile, Peterborough field former Pompey right-back Nathan Thompson in their starting XI.

But ex-Fratton Park Academy product Dan Butler misses out through injury.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Whatmough, Raggett, Brown, Williams, Naylor, Cannon, Curtis, Harness, Marquis.

Subs: Bass, Close, Pring, Hiwula, Harrison, Morris, Nicolaisen.
