Portsmouth will host Port Vale at Fratton Park on Saturday (March 25) in League One.

Vale, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but remain on course to avoid the drop. They lost 3-2 to Burton Albion in their league game last weekend, taking the lead via an Ellis Harrison strike after two minutes before the game turned in the second half.
The visitors are 16th in the league table, with 44 points from 37 games and are nine points above the drop zone.
