Pompey will be looking to put their south-coast derby defeat behind them as they welcome Sheffield United to Fratton Park this evening.
The Blues, of course, suffered a 1-0 reverse to bitter rivals Southampton on Sunday, despite Tonda Eckert’s side playing more than half the showdown with 10 men.
Indeed, John Mousinho’s troops do have the chance to return to winning ways tonight, with the visit of Chris Wilder’s mid-table Blades.
And we’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this evening’s Championship contest.

2. Franco Umeh - Out
Umeh is yet to feature for Pompey in any competition this season after picking a serious hamstring injury on the eve of the new campaign. The winger, who has featured just twice since his 2025 arrival, isn't expected to return until November. | Graham Hunt
3. Connor Ogilvie - Out
The left-back continues to be frustrated with an ongoing knee injury, which required two separate surgeries in the summer. The Blues are hopeful of a return to action next month for Ogilvie. | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages
4. Femi Seriki - Out
Tonight's contest will come too soon for Seriki, who has missed the Blades' previous eight matches due to a knee injury. Wilder revealed the right-back will likely return to the fold later this month. | Getty Images
