Pompey continue their busy schedule with the visit of Oxford United to Fratton Park tonight.

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.

As ever, we’ll be building up to kick-off tonight with plenty of discussion over the big talking point and the 6.45pm team news dissected.

There will be video before we bring live blow-by-blow commentary from 7.45pm as the Blues look to continue their recent unbeaten run.

Jed in the house!

As you may have seen, Jed Wallace dropped into my Facebook Live tonight as is back to watch his old club. Seemed in good spirits, as ever. Also with Jed was Shaun Williams, who reported he recovering well from his fractured spine and certainly looked to be moving comfortably.
