RECAP the action as Portsmouth survive scare to beat 10-man Sheffield United

Championship football returns to Fratton Park this evening as Pompey host Sheffield United.

The Blues are back on home soil and will be looking to put Sunday’s south-coast derby defeat to Southampton firmly behind them.

John Mousinho’s troops, of course, slipped to a 1-0 reverse at St Mary’s, despite playing with a man advantage for more than half of the contest.

Nonetheless, Pompey will be eyeing a first win in three games to ease any early-season nerves and move clear of the relegation zone.

The head coach isn’t expecting any of his injury cohort to be available, including Conor Shaughnessy, who continues to sit out with a groin issue.

We’ll have build-up and team news before live updates throughout the evening from Fratton Park.
