Strong side expected as Pompey eye Wembley
Pompey will be treating their Checkatrade Trophy clash with Northampton like a league game.
And Blues assistant manager, Joe Gallen, sees no reason why there can’t be a Wembley push in the much-maligned competition.
Aspiring young reporters Jamie Hill and Charlie Fairhurst grabbed a video exclusive with Gallen ahead of the second-round clash at Fratton Park on Saturday.
Gallen told the youngsters he was hopeful the Blues’ recently-injured players will be available for selection - and he expects Kenny Jackett to select a strong team.
