Pompey make the trip to the Vitality Stadium for the first time in 10 years this evening.

Although their previous trip to Bournemouth was in League One in 2013, the two sides meet tonight in much different circumstances.

A place in the Hampshire Cup is up for grabs, with the Blues beating Andover New Street to advance to this stage in December.
