Kenny Jackett’s side beat Sunderland last March to triumph in the competition formerly branded the Checkatrade Trophy.

Now, following victory over Walsall on Tuesday night, they are at the quarter-final stage, with the draw taking place live on TalkSPORT on Thursday (January 9).

To be held on the Jim White Show from 12:15pm, White will be joined by Natalie Sawyer and former West Brom striker Don Goodman for the draw.

There are six clubs already present in the quarter-finals – Exeter, Newport County, Accrington, Salford, Leicester under-21s and, of course, Pompey.

The remaining fixtures involve Scunthorpe against Manchester City under-21s and Bristol Rovers versus Stevenage, both of which will be played this evening.

The quarter-final stage signifies the end of the split into Northern and Southern sections.

The final will take place at Wembley on Sunday, April 5.
