Portsmouth

Portsmouth will be without Marko Milovanović for Saturday's game after a quad injury ruled the striker out against Stoke City. Iyad Mohamed is due to have a scan on a calf complaint, although the problem is considered less severe.

Odin Bailey, who made his first start in the last five matches against Swansea, is expected to keep his place out wide, with Thomas Waddingham deputising for Milovanović through the middle. Terry Devlin should continue at right-back ahead of Zak Swanson, who came on during the second half of the Swansea win, while Jayden Meghoma remains the expected choice at left-back.

Stoke City

Stoke City are expected to retain the two players who made their first starts in the last five matches against Blackburn: Maksym Taloverov and Million Manhoef. Ben Wilmot and Luke Graham, both ever-present over those five games, are also expected to continue in defence.

Eric Bocat remains out through injury and Lamine Cisse is unavailable because he is not registered. Between them, they made five starts across Stoke's last five matches. Aaron Cresswell and Sam Gallagher are both doubtful for the trip to Portsmouth, the former with a knee injury and the latter with a separate injury.
