All you need to know about League Two clash
Pompey and Exeter meet for the second time in the space of four weeks at Fratton Park tonight.
But the Blues side will have a different look to the fresh-faced outfit that exited the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in Devon at the start of September.
Paul Cook’s side went top of the table with a 2-1 triumph at Bristol Rovers on Saturday and are still unbeaten in the league.
Their opponents sit in 14th position and have collected six fewer points, although are only one outside the play-off spots.
Exeter’s only points on the road this season came courtesy of a 2-1 win at Dagenham in August, although they did go to League One side Swindon and knock them out of the Capital One Cup.
Paul Tisdale’s side have lost their last two matches, including a 2-0 home defeat to Wycombe at the weekend.
Pompey took four points off the Grecians last term, drawing at St James Park on the opening day before winning the return fixture.
TEAM NEWS
Pompey will be without Adam McGurk, who injured his ankle during the warm-up at Bristol Rovers.
Goalkeepers Paul Jones (knee) and Brian Murphy (groin) are still sidelined, along with Jack Whatmough (knee).
But skipper Michael Doyle is available again after serving a one-match suspension.
Ryan Harley and Jamie McCallister are both injury doubts for the visitors, while keeper James Hamon will miss out.
QUOTES
Paul Cook and Gareth Evans have both given their thoughts on tonight’s match, while extended interviews with the pair can be watched on Pompey PlayerHD.
