Although focus is firmly on the transfer window for Pompey, a small matter of an third-round FA Cup tie against Premier League giants Arsenal awaits on Sunday afternoon.
Attention turns to the Cup clash at Fratton Park this weekend, with the Blues welcoming the highest seed in the competition to the south coast.
John Mousinho's men would have been out of action for over 10 days when the contest comes around on Sunday, with last weekend’s Championship meeting with Ipswich Town called off due to a frozen pitch at PO4.
The Gunners, meanwhile, face Liverpool on Thursday in the build-up to their third-round tie but currently top the Premier League.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this weekend’s clash.
