Pompey aim to continue their fine form as Accrington Stanley arrive at Fratton Park.

Danny Cowley’s men look to make it five wins out of six against the side who wrecked their play-off hopes on the final day of last season.

Cowley may have a limited squad in terms of size, but he still has selection calls to make, particularly in defence and midfield.

LIVE: Portsmouth 4 Accrington 0

Pompey looking for their fifth win in six games today with success making it 16 points from 18. The visitors have won three of their last five after going six without a win.

It looks like a team selection based on physical power for Pompey with Hume and Morrell missing out for Tunnicliffe and Robertson. Ogilvie will likely go to wing-back to combat the visitor’s physicality.
