The Lilywhites have picked up some impressive wins against fancied sides so far in the Championship, and will offer a stern test of the credentials of John Mousinho’s side.
There’s some interesting selections calls for Mousinho to make with new faces building fitness and form also a big consideration.
Here’s how we think Pompey will go line up at PO4.

15. Sub 3: Jacob Farrell
