RECAP as Pompey come out on top in five-goal see-saw second half

We’re back in action at Fratton as the Easter programme begins against Lincoln City.

Danny Cowley goes up against his old club while Michael Appleton returns to Fratton Park after his stint in charge of the Blues a decade ago.

There’s subplots aplenty with former players also involved on both sides – including John Marquis attemping to shoot down his former club.

We’ll be building up kick off with all the pre-match talking points before the team news drops at 2pm.

There’ll be more chat and video before we bring live kick-by-kick commentary as Pompey aim to end the season on a high.

Five subs

Michael Appleton only naming five subs today. Hakeeb Adelakun and Max Sanders among them.

Pitch in all its glory

The surface looks in fantastic shape in the Frattton sunshine today. The old girl’s looking glorious.

Two up top

Looks like a return to the 4-2-2-2 formation used by Cowley of late. O’Brien up top with Hirst with Harness and Jacobs in behind. Otherwise, it’s back four with Thompson and Morrell sitting in front of them.
