The U’s clash marks the second of a quickfire triple header of home fixtures at PO4 for Danny Cowley’s side.

Memories of last month’s 3-2 defeat at the Kassam Stadium will be fresh in the mind, with controversy both on and off the pitch.

Whyte and Baldock on for Browne and Brown (yes, really...)

Pompey powering forward and looking for more with Fratton rocking.

What a hit from Carter! The defender picks up a clearance, sets himself with a lovely touch and wallops a 25 yarder past Stevens. What a loan signing the Blackburn loanee’s been!

Williams with a give and go and then angles a shot which past Bazunu’s upright from the edge of the box.

Pompey upping the pressure as the Chimes ring out but Harness’ corner is easy for Stevens

Taylor goes to ground in the box as Carter challenges. Looks a decent penalty shout, but the ref plays on as Cowley demands a yellow card for diving. Need a replay to get a better look at that one.

Seddon in some space but horribly miscues with his right foot into the Fratton End

O’Brien has added real energy and presence to Pompey’s front line as he continues to put himself about

Thompson turns over the ball but O’Brien can’t make more of it
