The Seasiders have won three of their last four outings, as they look to keep alive their faint hopes of finishing in the play-off places. They currently sit four points off sixth place Stevenage, but have played one game more than Steve Evans’ men.
Neil Critchley’s side came away from Fratton Park with a 4-0 victory when they met Pompey earlier this season, and will be looking to produce a similar level of performance.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench for this weekend:
