The action continues in the Championship for Pompey, who make the long-midweek trip to Sheffield United.
John Mousinho’s men will be hoping to expand on Saturday’s 3-1 triumph over Millwall, with three points moving considerable distance between themselves and the relegation zone.
They face Chris Wilder’s men, who currently occupy the final spot in the relegation zone after a surprisingly poor start to the new campaign.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this evening’s contest.
9. Connor Ogilvie - Out

10. Oliver Arblaster - Doubt
The midfielder has been sidelined for almost a year due to an ACL issue sustained in November 2024. The possibility of Arblaster returning to the matchday squad against Pompey this evening has been hinted at, although Wilder has made it clear he will be drip fed back into the side. | Getty Images
11. Thomas Waddingham - Out
Despite featuring in all of the opening five matches in all competitions this season, Waddingham has been sidelined for more than two months after pulling his quad in training. Like Ogilvie, the striker is pencilled in to complete his comeback in the new year. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
