Portsmouth manager Paul Cook to shuffle pack against Barnet

Portsmouth manager Paul Cook is set to make changes to his team as they prepare to host Barnet in League Two at Fratton Park.

They failed to score against Accrington last week so striker Conor Chaplin is set to start his first league fixture of the season.

"There will be some changes in the team for Saturday," said Cook. "But that's not a slight on anyone who's been playing.

"Conor will start without a shadow of a doubt. He has been waiting for his chance and will be one of the ones coming in. We were quite lacklustre against Accrington."

Barnet remain without three first-team players.

Goalkeeper Graham Stacker, and strikers Kevin Lisbie and Shaun Batt are all unavailable, respectively owing to groin and hamstring injuries, and a lack of fitness.

There are no longer any doubts over the fitness of Andy Yiadom and Elliott Johnson, however.

Manager Martin Allen said: "Portsmouth haven't lost a game all season and they've got some very good players."
