LIVE Oxford United 3 Pompey 2

Just under10 mins to kick-off and the Pompey fans are really making themselves heard at the Kassam!

Cracking selection call

Of the changes, the one Pompey fans wanted to see was Michael Jacobs back in the starting XI. Today they get their wish as the winger starts just his second league game of the season. The last was against AFC Wimbledon back in November.

Pompey backed by a 1,700 strong travelling support - who are already making themselves heard as the players warm up in front of them.

Danny Cowley rings the changes with five switches from the team who lost to Charlton. In come Ogilvie, Freeman, Thompson, Jacobs and Hirst as Robertson, Williams, Walker, Harness and the injured Romeo (ankle) miss out.

How do you think Pompey will line up?
