Portsmouth vs Arsenal live: Score and updates from FA Cup third round

Well that lead didn’t last long! Eze curls the corner in, it’s flicked on by Martinelli, then Gabriel and Christian Norgaard bundles it in at the back post. Le Roux was trying to defend and may have got the final touch but the result is the same.

Scrappy but the Gunners won’t care. Arsenal’s major threat and Pompey’s weakness – set-pieces – proves pivotal.

How will arsenal respond to this surprise blow? They come forward and win a first corner.

We know all about their set-piece prowess and Eze will curl one in.

OH MY WORD! Cat meet pigeons! Portsmouth lead!

They win the ball on the left and Blair crosses low to Chaplin whose first-time shot is parried by Kepa.

And Colby Bishop, the Portsmouth captain who has struggled for goals this season, is there to turn in the rebound. Scenes!

Cracking atmosphere at Fratton Park as you’d expect. The Pompey fans are well up for this.

They’ll want to disspell the memories of that 5-0 humiliation against Bristol City on New Year’s Day. They’ve started ok here – nice long ball out to Devlin on the right flank and he brings it down well.

A cross is eventually put into the box, although Kepa claims it

Underway at Fratton Park. Can Pompey cause an almighty upset?

Something to look out for this afternoon, Mikel Arteta is keen to use Kai Havertz off the bench if at all possible.

He hasn’t played since the opening weekend of the season but is returning from injury now.

A reminder of the team news for today’s clash, which starts in about five minutes’ time.

Rotation aplenty for Arsenal with Christian Norgaard filling in at centre-back and the likes of Eberechi Eze, Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Jesus all starting.

Injury-riddled Portsmouth have 10 players out at the moment so are cobbling together whatever sort of team they can. There are four changes from the 5-0 New Year’s Day thumping against Bristol City including Colby Bishop, who hasn’t scored since August, returning up top.

Portsmouth XI: Bursik; Devlin, Shaughnessy, Poole, Swanson; Dozzell, Le Roux; Segecic, Chaplin, Blair; Bishop
