All you need to know about League Two clash
Andy Awford is about to return to Fratton Park for the first time since he departed as manager back in April.
The Pompey Hall of Fame inductee – who made more than 370 appearances for the club – has been in caretaker charge of Luton since they sacked John Still before Christmas.
He led the Hatters to a 3-2 victory at Exeter in his first match as boss, courtesy of a winner from former Blues loanee Paul Benson in the 10th minute of stoppage-time.
But, like Pompey, they were beaten on Boxing Day, going down 2-0 to Wycombe on their own patch.
That leaves Luton sitting 15th in the League Two table – 16 points clear of the bottom two and eight adrift of the play-off spots.
Matt Tubbs grabbed a late winner when Paul Cook’s side won 2-1 at Kenilworth Road back in August, with Craig Mackail-Smith’s penalty earlier cancelling out Gareth Evans’ opener.
And the Hatters have lost on their last six visits to Fratton Park – a run stretches all the way back to 1987.
TEAM NEWS
Adam Webster will miss the game after being sent off at Leyton Orient, leaving Pompey with just one fully-fit centre-back.
Christian Burgess (ankle) and Paul Jones (knee surgery) are both out, while the game will likely arrive too soon for Matt Tubbs (ankle) and Jack Whatmough (knee).
Blues academy graduate Luke Wilkinson could miss out for the visitors with a hamstring problem.
