Portsmouth fixtures 2022-23: How Blues' season looks with Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Papa John's Trophy dates added to the mix - plus games that overlap with World Cup in Qatar

But how does their calendar for the campaign ahead look when Carabao Cup, Papa John’s Trophy and FA Cup dates are added into the mix?

And what about the World Cup? What games will it overlap, with the Blues likely to be without Wales midfielder Joe Morrell for that period?

Here’s how Pompey’s season shapes up, with Cardiff (away) named as their Carabao Cup first-round opponents.

AFC Wimbledon and Crawley are teams they will face in the Papa John’s Trophy, with a group game against Aston Villa’s under-21s has been added to their schedule.
