The left-back is one of two changes to the team which started Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Crewe, with Callum Johnson the other.

The pair were introduced at half-time of that Fratton Park fixture, replacing Haji Mnoga and Cam Pring.

And Kenny Jackett has opted to make that switch again, altering his starting XI for the visit of last season’s play-off conquerors Oxford.

Pring drops to the bench, while there is no place in Pompey’s 18-man squad for Mnoga, who made his full Football League debut in that Crewe fixture.

Ryan Williams is available following a hip problem, but must make do with a place on the bench.

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

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