John Mousinho’s side face an in-form side at Stadium MK, with Mark Jackson overseeing an upturn in fortunes to drag his side away from the drop zone.
Pompey need to keep their impressive form under the new boss going, however, to up the pressure on the top six.
They have players coming back into the equation for the clash – here’s how we think they will line up.
5. CB - Clark Robertson
Got the nod over Ryley Towler and produced a competent and assured showing. The suspicion is he'll continue. Photo: Jason Brown
6. LB - Connor Ogilvie
If he stays fit, will be likely to stay in the left-back position for the rest of the season. Photo: Jason Brown
7. CM - Louis Thompson
Was unfortunate to come out of the side last week after starting in two wins and a draw. Could well be used to stiffen up the midfield. Photo: Jason Brown
8. CM: Joe Morrell
Was used as an eight last weekend. Wherever he's put, the in-form Wales international will be more than dependable. Photo: Jason Brown
