Pompey are looking for their sixth away win on the bounce - which would make it their best run on the road since winning seven games on the spin in the 2007-08 campaign in the Premier League.

John Marquis is looking to extend an outstanding run of seven goals in just five games up front.

Ipswich make nine changes for the clash at Portman Road, with Oli Hawkins leading the line against the club he left in the summer.

And there’s a place in the Tractor Boys’ starting line-up for one-time Pompey keeper David Cornell.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Nicolaisen, Raggett, Pring, Williams, Naylor, Cannon, Curtis, Harness, Marquis.

Subs: Bass, Downing, Mnoga, Close, Morris, Hiwula, Harrison
