Team news for Tuesday's League Two clash between Northampton Town and Portsmouth at Sixfields Stadium.

Marc Richards will be assessed by Northampton after the striker missed their 2-1 win at Shrewsbury on Saturday. The striker sat out with an Achilles problem but boss Chris Wilder is hopeful he will be available to face Portsmouth. "We made a decision on Friday, he could have played but we did not want to run the risk of him missing a few game afterwards," he told Northampton Player. Ivan Toney stands by to deputise again while John-Joe O'Toole remains suspended. Wes Fogden could make his first appearance of the season for Pompey. Fogden has been sidelined since damaging knee ligaments during pre-season, but he was an unused substitute for Saturday's 0-0 draw against Oxford and should be in the squad again. Fellow midfielder James Dunne completes a two-match ban for accumulating 10 yellow cards this season but striker Paul McCallum is available again after a seven-match suspension. Boss Andy Awford has no new injury concerns as Pompey attempt to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches.
