Pompey travel to Adams Park on Friday (January 9) to face Wycombe Wanderers in an FA Cup third round tie.
As a result of their second-tier status, Pompey enter at the third round stage like Premier League clubs, while Wycombe have already had to go through two rounds. The Chairboys overcame York City in the first round, and then navigated their way past Wealdstone at the end of November.
Pompey and Wycombe met last season, with John Mousinho's side doing the double over them. A 2-1 win came at Fratton Park in October 2023, which was then followed by a 3-1 win at Adams Park in March.
The two teams have mainly met with one another in the league, both in League One and League Two. They did play each other in the FA Cup back in November 2016, with Wycombe running out 2-1 winners.
Blues boss John Mousinho is expected to make wholesale changes to his team for tonight’s game. He’ll also have to make do without skipper Marlon Pack, who is serving a one-match ban following his red card in Sunday’s Championship defeat at the hands of Sunderland.
