All you need to know about League Two clash
It is a big game at both ends of the table when York host Pompey at Bootham Crescent on Tuesday evening.
The visitors are trying to secure a play-off spot, while also keeping one eye on closing the gap on the automatic promotion places.
But the Minstermen’s ambitions are not quite so lofty – they need a win to avoid having relegation from the Football League confirmed.
Even that might not be enough, however, with results elsewhere able to condemn City to a place in next season’s National League.
It is some fall for a side who reached the League Two play-offs in 2013/14 and then finished 11 points clear of the drop zone last term.
So it is probably not much of a surprise that Pompey’s biggest victory of the current campaign was achieved against York.
Marc McNulty bagged a hat-trick in a 6-0 rout at Fratton Park last November, with Ben Davies, Ben Tollitt and Conor Chaplin also on target.
But the Blues have only ever won once at Bootham Crescent – and that came all the way back in 1977.
There have been some miserable trips north since then, including a dire 4-2 defeat in September 2013.
TEAM NEWS
Paul Cook has revealed that a few players are suffering from knocks and Gary Roberts will be assessed after going off injured against Plymouth.
Conor Wilkinson is definitely sidelined with a groin problem, as he continues to wait for his Blues debut.
Defender Dave Winfield is suspended for the hosts after being sent off at Hartlepool on Saturday, while Femi Ilesanmi (hamstring) is a doubt.
