Pompey are back in Championship action this afternoon and head to the midlands to take on early high-flyers West Brom.
John Mousinho’s men go into the contest at the Hawthorns on the back of a mixed start to the new season, which has seen them pick up one win and suffer one defeat to date.
Meanwhile, West Brom have started life under Ryan Mason with successive wins and one of three sides to pick up maximum points in the Championship to date.
We’ve had a look at the early team and injury news ahead of this afternoon’s contest.
