Jackett facing selection dilemma as in-form Pompey host leaders Wigan

Kenny Jackett must decide whether to mix things up as Portsmouth face Wigan in their second match in just 48 hours.

Pompey host the League One leaders fresh from winning three games on the bounce, including Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Walsall.

Gareth Evans, making his return to the starting line-up after a hamstring injury, scored the winning goal at the Banks’s Stadium and is likely to keep his place.

Portsmouth have come into form at the right time and are just two points behind sixth-place Plymouth with seven games remaining.

Wigan forward Will Grigg is likely to be involved again after coming off at half-time as a precaution on Good Friday.

Grigg (calf) scored the first goal in Wigan’s 3-0 victory over Oldham before being substituted at the break.

James Vaughan, who replaced Grigg, scored four minutes after his introduction and could be in line to start.

Jay Fulton will be pushing for a recall after Sam Morsy’s return from international duty with Egypt saw him miss out against Oldham.
