And Danny Cowley’s men will be hoping home comforts will aid them as they bid to end their league goal drought.
It’s 358 minutes since the Blues last scored in League One action, and they are out to avoid equalling their worst barren league run of the 21st century.
We will be building up to the game as Pompey look to end a run of three defeats on the spin, which has seen their strong start to the campaign slow.
Then the team news is in at 2pm with reaction and video from PO4, before we bring you live commentary from 3pm.

- Five changes for Pompey
- Downing, Azeez, Harrison, Curtis and Romeo come in for the injured Robertson, Morrell, Hackett-Fairchild, Marquis and Freeman.
- 38: Ironside heads visitors in front against run of play
- 69: O’Neil doubles visitors’s lead
It’s a nightmare for Pompey as Cambridge double their lead from a corner with one heck of a hit from O’Neil outside the box. Bazunu gets fingers too it but the power of the shot sees it into the top corner. ‘This is embarrassing’ sing the Pompey fans.
