Pompey are back in Championship action this Saturday as they make the trip to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City.
The Blues, of course, secured their first maximum points of the season last time, out with a comfortable 3-1 triumph over newly-promoted Lincoln City.
John Mousinho’s troops are back on the road this weekend and face a Robins side who have yet to taste competitive victory under new boss Michael Skubala, having picked up one draw and two defeats in their opening three matches.
We’ve taken a look at the very early team and injury news from both camps ahead of the trip to Ashton Gate this Saturday.
