Pompey face Blackburn Rovers in a huge showdown at Ewood Park on Saturday.
The Blues make the long trip north to Lancashire sitting just one point above Michael O’Neill’s side, with a win for either team ensuring a big step towards survival.
John Mousinho remains without a number of key injured personnel, while Conor Shaughnessy is expected to return to action after a quad issue sustained in January.
Here’s how we think Pompey could line-up against their relegation rivals in a crucial showdown at the foot of the standings.
