All you need to know about League Two clash
Pompey are back on the road this evening when they take on fellow promotion hopefuls Luton.
The hosts are currently one place – and two points – higher than the Blues in the League Two standings in fourth spot.
A 1-1 draw at Cheltenham for Paul Cook’s side on Saturday meant that the Hatters’ 2-0 victory at Morecambe saw the sides switch places.
But Pompey know that three points tonight will see them leapfrog back over Luton in the battle to close in on the automatic promotion places.
Grimsby are the only side to have left Kenilworth Road with a maximum haul of points so far this season.
Nathan Jones’ men have won just four times on their own patch, however – fewer than any other side in the top five.
And, unlike the Blues, their focus is currently split three ways, with FA Cup and Checkatrade Trophy ties against Solihull Moors and Swindon respectively to come in December.
Pompey have only ever tasted victory three times on Luton’s turf, but one of those wins came last season, courtesy of a last-gasp goal from Matt Tubbs.
TEAM NEWS
Pompey are without the suspended Conor Chaplin and sidelined Curtis Main (abdominal), but Amine Linganzi is available following a three-match ban.
Luton are missing the long-term injured duo of Nathan Doyle (Achilles) and Danny Green (leg).
