Good evening from Broadfield Stadium

Pompey open their Papa John’s Trophy campaign at Crawley tonight.

The Blues will hope to keep up their strong record against the Red Devils in the competition, winning the past three meetings over six years.

Danny Cowley will be expected to freshen up his squad amid a busy period of games.

That means giving much-needed minutes to those who’ve not had a lot of game time, as well as those on the way back from injury.

We’ll be building up to kick off at Broadfield Stadium with team news and talking points before bringing live commentary from 7.45pm.
