Team News
Portsmouth
Sunderland
- Defensive lynchpin Conor Shaughnessy missed the Middlesbrough game with a minor injury and remains a doubt for the visit of Sunderland on Saturday.
- Expect one change to the side that turned out at the Riverside Stadium with new signing Harvey Blair making his full league debut.
- Dan Ballard and Alan Browne should both return to the starting XI on Saturday with the latter doing so in place of the suspended Dan Neil.
- New striker Wilson Isidor could make his first appearance, although this will likely come from the bench.
Four weeks in a row now Bilcao. Pls keep predicting against Sunderland
It seems I underestimated Portsmouth, but still believe they are in a honeymoon period. Are Sunderland really contenders? I go 0-0 just because I’m not sure of either!
