The Irishman makes way for Gareth Evans on the left of the attacking three for the televised League One encounter.

Evans made a scoring entry from the bench in last weekend’s 4-1 triumph over Rochdale, having replaced Curtis.

Now the 30-year-old is rewarded with a start at the Pirelli Stadium, representing the only change to Kenny Jackett’s side.

Elsewhere, fit-again Viv Solomon-Otabor is among the substitutes following a successful reserve-team comeback at Bournemouth on Tuesday.

He replaces Louis Dennis, who drops out of the squad, with Andy Cannon travelling as stand-by.

 

Pompey: MacGillivray, Thompson, Burgess, Clarke, Brown, Naylor, Close, Lowe, Pitman, Evans, Hawkins.

Subs: Bass, Walkes, Bogle, Haunstrup, Morris, Solomon-Otabor, Curtis.
