Pompey’s away League One match against Gillingham has been selected for live television coverage.
The Priestfield clash – which will be screened live on Sky Sports – has been moved back a day to Sunday, October 8 (2.30pm kick-off).
There has not been a competitive meeting between the sides in Kent, since the Blues were in the Premier League and suffered a League Cup upset in September 2005.
But the two clubs did play out a goalless draw in an August friendly just before the start of last season.
