The Blues head coach has opted to rotate his squad, with Joe Rafferty and the in-form Jack Sparkes making way.

In their place at the Abbey Stadium tonight are Connor Ogilvie at left-back and Zak Swanson featuring at right-back, with the duo they replace moving to the bench.

They are among three changes to the team which left it so late to defeat Carlisle on Saturday, with Tino Anjorin making way for Christian Saydee.

Sean Raggett misses out on the 18-man squad through illness, so Ryley Towler takes his place on the bench.

Pompey: Norris, Swanson, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Morrell, Robertson, Lane, Saydee, Kamara, Bishop.

Subs: Schofield, Towler, Sparkes, Anjorin, Stevenson, Rafferty, Yengi.
