All you need to know about League Two clash
Pompey complete a week of fixtures on the road by facing Morecambe at the Globe Arena tonight (7.45pm kick-off).
They are still searching for their first victory following league draws with Carlisle and Crewe, and a narrow EFL Cup defeat to Coventry.
The hosts have one more point after goals from Jack Dunn and Michael Rose saw them beat Lancashire rivals Blackpool 2-1 on Saturday.
That came after they lost at Grimsby on the opening day, although they did then knock higher-ranked Rotherham out of the cup to set up a second round clash with Bournemouth later this month.
Morecambe are the bookies’ favourites for relegation this season, despite finishing 12 points clear of the drop zone last term.
The Shrimps drew twice with Pompey during the 2015/16 campaign – and they were both memorable fixtures.
Paul Cook’s men came from three goals down to salvage a point at Fratton Park, with Jayden Stockley grabbing a last-gasp leveller.
But it was Morecambe who enjoyed the late drama in the return match, as goalkeeper Barry Roche converted a stoppage-time corner to cancel out Gareth Evans’ opener.
TEAM NEWS
Jack Whatmough is out after injuring his knee at Crewe on Saturday, but Enda Stevens could return from a groin problem.
Pompey are still without Matt Clarke (groin), Ben Close (hamstring) and Brandon Haunstrup (collarbone).
