00:00Team News is in from Fredton Park as Pompey go in search of their maiden winning the championship here against Inform West Bromwich.
00:07A really interesting team news as well as a trio of changes are made from last time out against Sunderland.
00:12Josh Murphy returns after that injury and Tom McIntyre straight into the starting eleven after having a really tough time at Pompey so far.
00:21Breaking his ankle on his debut and problems in pre-season but he's back into the starting eleven with Paddy Lane the other man coming back in.
00:28Out goes Matt Ritchie dropping to the bench, Riley Taylor and Sammy Silvera who have been on international duty with Australia.
00:35Big news on the bench for Pompey as Regan Ball returns, first time since November and he has suffered an ACL injury at Chesterfield in the FA Cup.
00:42Massive news there and no Connor Shocknessy in the Pompies were expected back this afternoon.
00:47Pompey having some real injury issues well documented but not Shocknessy expected back.
00:53So let's run you through that Pompey eleven starting with Will Norris continuing in goal.
00:57Nicholas Smith may come in for Pompey in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
01:01Swanston are right back continuing, Jordan Williams expected a shift of right back continues at centre half.
01:05Tom McIntyre as I say comes in with Connor Ogilvie left back.
01:08Skipper Marlon back alongside Andre Dezel, a lot of shouts for Abdoulaye Kamara to come into the eleven today.
01:14He's on the bench, Paddy Lane returning, Callum Lang in behind Christian Saley with Josh Murphy on the bench.
01:20On the bench for the Blues, Smith, Towler, Poole, Potts, Yenge, Silveira, Kamara, Harvey Blair and Matt Ritchie.
01:26Meaning no place in the squad for Devlin, Sorensen, Omani, Nuloni and Owen Moxon.
01:31Jacob Farrell back in contention as well but no place for him either.
01:34West Brompton go top of the win, another real tough assignment for Pompey here.
01:38As Gosport lad John Swift starts for the Baggies and Pompey former Pompey boy Jed Wallace on the bench.
01:44Obviously doing fantastically well in his time at Pompey, 17 goals at the age of just 19.
01:48Making his first return to a PO4.
01:50Certainly as a player, been down here many times as a fan since really close connections with the area.
01:56Still thinking of Wallace but just to switch around and show you the pitch looking splendid there in the sunshine.
02:00Really great nick there, credit to the groundsman as ever.
02:04And as I say Pompey looking to get the first win of the championship.
02:07West Brompton can potentially go top with three points with probably about 45 minutes or so to kick off.
02:12Here at Fratton Park for Pompey against West Brompton.
