RECAP as Portsmouth comfortably win in front of watching owners

Pompey face Gillingham this afternoon in their penultimate Fratton Park fixture.

The Blues welcome back Ben Thompson for the first time since his outstanding loan spell in the 2018-19 season.

We will also find out the identity of the 2021-22 News/Sports Mail player of the season ahead of kick off.

The play-offs are now officially beyond Pompey’s reach, but fans will still be looking for cause for optimism from their team moving forward.

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

There will be more reaction and video before we bring live commentary of the action from 3pm.
