Pompey’s gruelling Championship schedule continues this afternoon as they welcome high-flying Hull City to Fratton Park.
The Blues return to Fratton Park after three-successive away days, which saw them claim six points out of a possible nine.
Despite triumphs over Charlton Athletic and Millwall, John Mousinho’s men fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to sixth-placed Wrexham in midweek.
The result leaves Pompey five points clear of the relegation zone ahead of today’s crucial contest against the Tigers, who make the long trip to the south coast occupying fifth in the standings.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this afternoon’s showdown at Fratton Park.
