But how will John Mousinho go as he aims to secure promotion and the League One against Ian Evatt’s side?
There’s some big selection calls to make, not least in attack after starting with Kusini Yengi and Colby Bishop against Shrewsbury.
Right-back and the middle of the park are other areas worthy of consideration with it all up grabs in the north west.
Here’s how we think Mousinho will go in the promotion showdown.

13. Sub 1 Matt Macey
Hopefully won't be called upon, but more than able deputy for Norris. | National World

14. Sub 2: Zak Swanson
Would be able to count himself hard done by, if Pompey do go with Rafferty's experience. Photo: Jason Brown

15. Sub 3: Jack Sparkes
Could be an option off the bench if Pompey are needing to chase the game, with his supply an obvious threat. Photo: Jason Brown

16. Sub 4 Owen Moxon
Razor-thin call with Evans as to who starts in the middle. Chances are Moxon has a big role to play whatever happens. | National World
