Pompey will look to avoid being victims of an FA Cup upset when they face Altrincham at Fratton Park this weekend.
Their opponents have enjoyed plenty of past giant-killings – most notably in the 1980s – and upset Barnsley four years ago.
The Robins have already seen off Chester, Halesowen, Southport and York to reach this stage of the competition.
And they head to the south coast on the back of an impressive 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
That includes another victory at York in the FA Trophy and has seen them pull away from the National League North relegation zone.
Phil Parkinson’s men currently occupy 15th position – seven points clear of the bottom two and six adrift of the play-off spots.
It means there will be two in-form sides meeting on Saturday, with Pompey losing just one of their past 12 fixtures.
Altrincham are currently 76 places below the Blues in the football pyramid, but will be hoping to make their cup pedigree count.
TEAM NEWS
Pompey have no new injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s win, while a fit-again Sean Raggett is back in contention.
Ross McCrorie (hamstring) and Tom Naylor (hamstring) are both expected to return to full training next week.
Jack Whatmough is not ready for selection after recovering from a serious knee problem, while Bryn Morris (groin) is still sidelined.
Tom Peers was Altrincham’s hero in the last round, scoring the only goal of the game to secure progress at York.
