Pompey will be looking for a return to winning ways this afternoon as they welcome Sheffield United to Fratton Park.
John Mousinho’s men sit just one point above the relegation zone in 20th after a 1-0 defeat to Preston North End last weekend.
The loss brought an end to the Blues’ four-game unbeaten run, which has seen them move clear of the bottom three.
Chris Wilder’s side, meanwhile, make the trip to the south coast having fallen to a 2-1 defeat to table-topping Middlesbrough on Monday.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news ahead of this afternoon’s Championship contest.
