Portsmouth predicted XI and bench v Northampton as January signings prepare to make their Fratton Park debuts: gallery

Pompey welcome Northampton to Fratton Park on Saturday as they look to retain their position as League One's leaders.

The chasing pack are closing in, but a third win in four games should keep the likes of Bolton, Peterborough and Derby at bay for another while at least.

Pompey return to Fratton for the first time since their demoralising 3-0 defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient on January 13. Since then, though, they've collected seven points out of nine of the road - and have flexed their muscle in the transfer market with the arrival of four new players.

There's a good chance three of that four - Myles Peart-Harris, Callum Lang and Owen Moxon - could make their PO4 debuts. However, it's unlikely Tom McIntyre will feature given his lack of game time in recent weeks for former club Reading.

Pompey also have doubts over Joe Morrell, who picked up a knee injury in Tuesday night's 2-2 draw with Oxford, while Terry Devlin could also miss out after hurting his shoulder at the Kassam Stadium. Both players will be missed if they are deemed unfit. But with new faces through the door and Joe Rafferty expected to return, the Blues are well stocked for the visit of Jon Brady's side.

Here's how we think they'll line up against the Cobblers, who have won their past two league games on their travels.
