Team News
Steve Cotterill is likely to rest some of his players ahead of the more important Championship match on Friday, which means the likes of Matt Ritchie, Richard Hughes and Nadir Ciftci may start for Pompey.
Paulo Sousa is also likely to make changes to the side that lost 2-0 at home to QPR on Saturday. Steve Howard and Paul Gallagher could be handed starts after coming on as substitutes during the weekend.
The Match
Obviously, all the attention will be focused on Milan Mandaric ahead of this game as the speculation about his possible return to Pompey continues to grow.
And in truth, you won't find many fans from both sides who care too much about this game as both sides would rather prefer a win on Friday, with the Foxes also struggling at the bottom of the Championship.
However, a win would boost confidence for either side and without the pressure of picking up League points I think the fans who bother to turn up to the game could be in for an entertaining game.
The Foxes are Pompey's bogey team and for that illogical reason I am expecting a defeat, probably on penalties but it's Friday that really matters.

My Prediction
Apart from a friendly a few years back, I can't remember Pompey ever beating Leicester. They have a knack of beating us no matter how bad they are or how good we are, hence why I'm expecting defeat.
Portsmouth 1 Leicester City 1 (Leicester win on penalties)
