Pompey are back in action this evening as they welcome early fast-starters Swansea City to Fratton Park.
The Blues return to PO4 after their goalless draw with Burnley on Saturday, with the point at Turf Moor keeping the 11th.
It did mean John Mousinho’s troops were able extend their unbeaten run to five games, while now losing just one of their previous nine league matches.
They welcome Vitor Matos’ Swansea, who have enjoyed an outstanding start to the campaign and sit second in the standings after a 4-0 triumph over Blackburn Rovers on the weekend.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of the Championship encounter under the Fratton Park lights this evening.
