Plymouth Argyle host Portsmouth in League One on Monday at Home Park. Plymouth will be looking to continue their hot run of form, while a win for Portsmouth sees them knocking on the door of the top two.

Plymouth Form


Plymouth have enjoyed a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions. 

A 1-1 draw with Wigan in the league was followed by victories against Doncaster Rovers 2-1 and Swindon Town 4-2, which has them sitting eighth after 11 matches.

Midfielder Lewis Macleod is a chance to return for the match against Portsmouth. 

The 26-year-old has been out of the squad since September with a knee injury but has returned to full training and is in contention for a call-up.  

Goalkeeper and cult hero Luke McCormick could also be selected for his first league appearance of the season. The 37-year-old has recovered from a shoulder injury and returned in Plymouth’s EFL Trophy win against Newport County.
