Pompey turn their attention back to League One this lunchtime as they make the short trip to Wycombe.

After a two-week break, which included victories in the Papa John’s Trophy and the FA Cup, the Blues are looking to rise into the play-offs with three points at Adams Park.

Danny Cowley’s men are without a victory in their last four games in the league after four successive draws and have since slipped out of the top six.

The head coach delivered some positive injury news around Michael Jacobs, Tom Lowery and Louis Thompson but the trio aren’t expected to feature.

Dane Scarlett and Owen Dale are set to return after they were unavailable for the FA Cup contest last week after they were refused permission by their parent clubs.

You can follow the action with team news, build-up and video before live commentary when we get under way from 12.30pm.

LIVE: Wycombe v Pompey

Key Events

  • Blues return to League One action after Cup break.
  • Dane Scarlett and Owen Dale come back in after missing FA Cup victory.
  • Mehmeti fires hosts ahead early.

Dale has struggled to get into the game but he wins a corner off Obita.

Ogilvie has gone into the book for a foul. The free-kick comes in and finds Mawson unmarked in the box. He fires an effort which cannons off the post and Raggett puts it behind for a corner.

The referee at the centre of the Pompey anger again as Mingi brings down a Wycombe player and are awarded a free-kick 30-yards out.

Much better from the visitors, Scarlett puts Curtis through but his pass is just a bit in front of the Irishman and Stryjek claims the ball.

Massive claims for a penalty by the Pompey fans, Curtis is charged into the back off but the referee waves the Blues claims away much to the anger of the away fans.

Wycombe get heads to it and the ball comes back out to Pack whose second delievery is fired in and the Blues have a throw on the far side.

Pack’s ball in is headed behind and Pompey have their first corner.

Dale wins a chear free-kick around 25 yards out, good chance this.

Robertson tries a through ball into Scarlett but the pass is just a bit too much for the youngster to chase. Pompey looking a bit brighter here.

Ogilvie puts the ball into the box but Tafazoli beats Raggett and the hosts clear.
