Town boss Mick McCarthy has named the anticipated entirely changed XI for this evening’s FA Cup third round replay at League Two Portsmouth.
Bartosz Bialkowski starts in goal with Josh Emmanuel at right-back, Myles Kenlock left-back and Piotr Malarczyk and Paul Digby the centre-halves, as they were in the first game between the sides at Portman Road, which ended 2-2 10 days ago.
In midfield, Luke Hyam skippers and is joined in the centre by Jay Tabb with Ainsley Maitland-Niles on the right and Tommy Oar on the left. Up front, former Pompey striker Luke Varney is partnered by Brett Pitman.
The bench features Joe Robinson, Kyle Hammond and Shane McLoughlin, who are yet to make a first-team appearance and Adam McDonnell, whose only senior game for the Blues came in the Capital One Cup at Doncaster.
Portsmouth name both ex-Town players, keeper Brian Murphy and winger Gary Roberts, in a team featuring three changes from the side which lined up at Portman Road with skipper Michael Doyle, Gareth Evans and Christian Burgess replacing Danny Hollands, Ben Close and Adam McGurk.
Portsmouth: Murphy, Davies, Webster, Burgess, Stevens, Barton, Doyle (c), Evans, Roberts, Bennett, McNulty. Subs: Bass, May, Close, Tollitt, Naismith, McGurk, Chaplin.
Town: Bialkowski, Emmanuel, Digby, Malarczyk, Kenlock, Hyam (c), Tabb, Maitland-Niles, Oar, Varney, Pitman. Subs: Gerken, Robinson, Hammond, Coke, McDonnell, Touré, McLoughlin. Referee: Andy Woolmer (Northamptonshire).
