Although the clouds are covering Fratton, it’s definitely not as cold as Thursday and quite a pleasant day for football.

Pompey and Charlton are both without a win in their past eight league games and didn’t pick up maximum points in the final two months of 2022.

Here’s how we predict Pompey could line-up this afternoon.

Griffiths, Morrison, Raggett, Ogilvie, Swanson, Morrell, Pack, Hume, Dale, Scarlett, Bishop.
