The Easter period continues with the visit of Morecambe to Fratton Park.

Only three points will do if John Mousinho’s side are to keep up their outside hopes of making the play-offs.

Morecambe are scrapping for their lives at the foot of the table and will desperately need a return if they are to stay in League One.

We’ll be building up to kick-off on a wet afternoon at Fratton Park with all the talking points and team news at 2pm.

Then it’s live commentary from PO4 with all the details as the action unfolds.

LIVE Pompey v Morecambe

Here come the players as the sun shines through at Fratton

How fitting that today, 10 years on from the High Court win which paved the way for community ownership, the grandson of Iain McInnes is mascot. I’m sure Jacob will enjoy his afternoon.

Fighting for their lives

Morecambe are scrapping for their lives at the wrong end of the table. The Shrimps are five points from safety, but will have just four games left after today. Getting close to do or die for Derek Adams’ side.

Here’s the Morecambe line-up

Four changes for Pompey

Four changes for Pompey. Hume, Scarlett, Tunnicliffe and Robertson in for Morrell, Jacobs, Ogilvie and Bernard. Jacobs has a tight calf and Ogilvie a dead leg.

No Jacobs, no Ogilvie, no Morrell

Jacobs out with a tight calf, Ogilvie has a dead leg and Morrell suspended.

Talk, currently unconfirmed, that Connor Ogilvie is out today. Will obviously be confirmed in 10 minutes.
