Steve Evans' surprise package lie in wait, bolstered by a string for former Fratton favourites.

Then it's live kick-by-kick commentary from 3pm as John Mousinho's aim to keep their place at the top of League One.

LIVE Pompey v Stevenage

Well played Sparkes

Three Stevenage players around Sparkes in a defensive position and he wins a free-kick. Clever stuff,

Another flowing Pompey move ends with Pack firing high and wide from 25 yards

Pack whistles a lovely 30-yard free-kick just past the post

Triple Stevenage change

Nathan Thompson, Ben Thompso and Forster-Caskey all on

Pompey got their mojo back here with some lovely one-touch stuff ending with Freeman fouling Kamara and getting booked

It's 2-1 thanks to the Magic Man! A lovely flicked finish from Lane's cross and it's Bishop's 13th of the season - celebrated with his hands cupped to his ears, a clear riposte to some online flak of late.

Normal service resumed

That goal for Stevenage very much against the run of play and Pompey now asking the questions again.,
