It’s undoubtedly a difficult clash, with the seventh-placed Cod Army sitting two places above Pompey in the third tier.

Should the Blues reach the fourth round for successive years, though, the draw will take place on Monday, January 6 from 7.35pm and broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Thirty-two teams will be involved and it’ll be conducted by David O’Leary and Alex Scott ahead of Arsenal’s clash against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium.

So far, Pompey have defeated non-league Harrogate Town and Altrincham to reach the third round of the Cup.
