Kenny Jackett has retained the starting XI which came so agonisingly close to victory at Bristol Rovers last weekend.

That means Ronan Curtis and Ryan Williams again serve as the wide players in the attacking three.

Elsewhere, Marcus Harness finds himself on the bench along with Andy Cannon, who has recovered from an injury scare in the week for the reserves.

Pompey: MacGillivray, McCrorie, Burgess, Raggett, Brown, Close, Naylor, Williams, Evans, Curtis.

Subs: Bass, Downing, Haunstrup, Bolton, Cannon, Harness, Harrison.
