    Pompey will welcome a return to Fratton Park as they look to complete their 100 per cent home start to the season by beating Coventry.

    Kenny Jackett’s side have lost fixtures they have dominated on the road at Shrewsbury and Sunderland.

    But south coast victories over Birmingham – in the Carabao Cup – and Tranmere have provided more cheer.

    They now face a Sky Blues outfit that remain unbeaten in all competitions at this embryonic stage of the 2019/20 campaign.

    Coventry have only played one away fixture, however, which was a goalless draw against troubled Bolton.

    Mark Robins’ men have won all three of their ‘home’ games, which are taking place at Birmingham’s St Andrew’s ground this season.

    That is due to an ongoing dispute between the club and the owners of their usual Ricoh Arena venue, which also forced them to play at Northampton a few years ago.

    City were most recently in action against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, with Jordan Shipley and Gervane Kastaneer on target in a 2-0 triumph.

    But Pompey won both meetings between the teams last term, including a 2-1 success at Fratton Park that came courtesy of goals from Tom Naylor and Brett Pitman.

    TEAM NEWS
    The game will likely come too soon for Bryn Morris following a groin problem, while Oli Hawkins (foot), Jack Whatmough (knee) and Ryan Williams (quad) are also out.

    Jodi Jones is not ready to feature for the visitors as he continues his recovery from a knee injury, but Coventry do not have any fresh worries.

    HEAD TO HEAD

    Overall
    Pompey: 13 wins
    Coventry: 15 wins
    6 draws

    At Fratton Park
    Pompey: 9 wins
    Coventry: 4 wins
    4 draws

    TICKETS
    Pompey have sold out of tickets in the home sections of the ground, although fans are advised to keep checking to see if any seats are released via the ticket exchange.


    OFFICIALS
    Referee: Kevin Johnson
    Assistants: Paul Kelly and Stuart Butler
    Fourth Official: Steven Plane

    BETTING
    Pompey are the 17/20 favourites with Sky Bet to secure all three points, while the visitors can be backed at 3/1.

    3-1 for me, if Kenny goes with two up front, and replaces Anton Walkes with Ross McCrorie at right back :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Burgess, Walks and Cannon dropped.

    Harsh on Burges imo. Scapegoat for that team. 1 bad game and he's out.

    Agree with Walkes being dropped who has looked very poor.

    Harsh on Cannon too imo.

    Not sure what to expect now.

    Fingers crossed. Coventry are one of the better teams in this división. If this is the final result, just maybe KJ´s critics will give him credit for his selection. Delighted Curtis is on the scoresheet.

    Just try and keep possession Pompey, take it to the corner flags and take 30 seconds there, take it Deep into the opposition and ram the ball into the defenders legs to get a throw. It is not that hard, is it? Mind you Coventry are a side enraged.
