RECAP as Portsmouth fall to 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town

Pompey will be looking to immediately bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, with John Mousinho no doubt demanding a reaction from his troops.

Standing in their way of three points are Ipswich Town, who have struggled to adapt to life back in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League.

Kieran McKenna’s men sit two points and five places below the Blues after the opening rounds of fixtures, although the Tractor Boys have played a game left after their match against Blackburn Rovers last week was abandoned.

Pompey will be battling with a number of injury issues, while Conor Chaplin will be ineligible to face his parent club as per the season-long loan agreement.

We’ll have build-up and team news before live updates when the action gets underway from 3pm at Portman Road.
