Manager Kenny Jackett has made four changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Plymouth on Monday night.

Jack Whatmough, Ronan Curtis and Ellis Harrison have replaced Rasmus Nicolaisen, Ben Close 9both on bench) and Ryan Williams (injured) respectively.

However, the big surprise is at right-back, with youngster Haji Mnoga making his full league debut, with Callum Johnson dropping to the bench.

We’ll be getting Jackett's thoughts on his team selection at the final whistle.

For now, though, Pompey fans have been having their say on today's team.

Here’s a selection of the views shared on Twiiter...

@nobbypfc: Massive positive with the formation and Mnoga getting a start but Raggett is worrying.

@GetJackettOut: Raggs and Whatmough are a better partnership, Raggett makes mistakes but Rasmus needs to improve from Monday until he's starting alongside Jack.

@Jamesr02_: Would’ve swapped Raggett for Nicolaisen but other than that, quality.

@SRandall_: Like it but Curtis needs a rest.

@greenspacesimon: Attacking. 'Shock and awe' from the start?!
