Striker changes for Portsmouth as Kenny Jackett alters side for Swindon visit

Ellis Harrison has been dropped from Pompey’s side against Swindon.

The striker, who hasn’t scored in League One for more than four months, is one of two changes to the team which staged a dramatic fightback in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Plymouth.

He makes way for Ryan Williams, who will operate around John Marquis in attack.

The second change has been enforced, following Michael Jacobs’ hamstring problem in that Saturday game.

His replacement is Ronan Curtis, promoted from the bench following his entrance as substitute which proved so pivotal in that Pilgrims draw.

Jordy Hiwula returns to the bench following four matches out of Kenny Jackett’s 18-man squad.

Meanwhile, former Pompey favourite Brett Pitman starts for Swindon, following five goals for the Robins this season.

Pompey: MacGillivray, Johnson, Bolton, Raggett, Daniels, Harness, Naylor, Cannon, Curtis, Williams, Marquis.

Subs Not Used: Ward, Brown, Harrison, Byers, White, Hiwula, Mnoga.
