All you need to know about Emirates FA Cup tie
Pompey fans will have fond memories of their last FA Cup trip to Portman Road.
Ipswich was the destination for a 1-0 third round triumph – with David Nugent scoring the winning goal – back in 2008.
And the Blues went on to beat Plymouth, Preston, Manchester United, West Brom and Cardiff to lift the trophy at Wembley.
The sides also met in Suffolk at the same stage two years earlier, although it was Dario Silva who grabbed the only goal on that occasion.
Pompey are competing in the third round for the first time since 2012 and have already seen off Macclesfield and Accrington to get this far.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are making their bow in this season’s competition and currently sit sixth in the Championship table.
Mick McCarthy's men are enjoying a good run in the league, having lost just one of their last six matches.
TEAM NEWS
Michael Doyle will be rested having played on with a knee injury for the past few matches.
Matt Clarke is ineligible to feature against his parent club, while fellow loanee Caolan Lavery also cannot take part.
Christian Burgess (ankle) and Paul Jones (knee surgery) are both out, but Matt Tubbs is back in contention following an ankle problem.
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has taken the unusual step of already announcing his starting 11.
He revealed that former Pompey forward Luke Varney will make his first start since last May.
