Pompey return to action tonight as Danny Cowley’s side travel to Wales to face Cardiff in the first round of this season’s Carabao Cup.

The trip to the Cardiff City Stadium will be the Blues’ first since Kenny Jackett’s men were defeated 2-1 after extra-time in the same competition back in 2017.

However, there’ll be no extra 30 minutes required tonight with the result determined by penalties should the scores be level after 90 minutes.
