Ryan Williams makes way for Marcus Harness on the right flank for this afternoon’s visit of Plymouth.

That is the only alteration to the team who claimed a 3-1 win at the Valley on Tuesday night to climb into fourth in League One.

Williams drops to the bench, which is otherwise unchanged following Harness’ promotion.

Jackett has also opted to continue with a 4-4-2 system, with John Marquis partnering Ellis Harrison.

Once again there’s no room for Jordy Hiwula in the 18-man squad, while Ben Close, Paul Downing and Alex Bass are missing through injury.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Bolton, Raggett, Daniels, Harness, Naylor, Cannon, Jacobs, Harrison, Marquis.

Subs: Ward, Curtis, Williams, Brown, Mnoga, Byers, White.
