Danny Cowley’s men look to continue their strong end to the season at Hillsborough against Darren Moore’s play-off chasers.

The Owls have shown impressive home form this season and looking to build on that success by securing a top-six finish.

There will be a sellout crowd at Hillsborough for the occasion, with Pompey taking 3,000 fans to Yorkshire.

We’ll be building up to the 12.30pm kick off with all the talking points, team news and video.

Then it’s live kick by kick commentary as the Blues look to sign off on a high.

Curtis get to the byline, crosses and O’Brien’s nearpost effort cannons off the woodwork and away to safety for the home side.

O’Brien on for Jacobs .

Sounds like Plymouth are combusting. 4-0 down at home to MK Dons and down to 10 men. That’s stuffed their play-off hopes. Wycombe, MK, Sunderland and Sheff Wed in play-offs and Wigan champions ahead of Rotherham as things stand. Gillingham down with Wimbledon, Doncaster and Crewe.

Bazunu again saves Pompey with his feet keeping out Byers’ finish from 10 yards after a cutback. Should have scored really.

Hirst is played in behind the Wednesday defence but checks and is then crowded out.

Thompson penalised for taking out Byers on the apex of the box. Short routine from Bannan is blocked and cleared.

Jacobs free-kick headed over by Harness.

Cracking atmosphere pre match but pretty sedate now, Pompey fans making themeslves heard.

Action underway - no changes
