Pompey welcome Stoke City to Fratton Park tomorrow as they complete back-to-back fixtures at PO4.
There’s much for John Mousinho to ponder in terms of his selection, with the Blues shorn of a host of attacking options through injury and suspension.
Star man Josh Murphy is expected to be back in contention against Mark Robins’ men, however, with the extent of his involvement another consideration.
Here’s how we think Pompey will line up as they look to return to winning ways.

A number of ways Mousinho can go to offset losses of John Swift and Adrian Segecic. We're going with Bianchini down the right - to start with anyway. Photo: Graham Hunt
10. ACM Conor Chaplin
Much better from Chaplin in the second half on Tuesday, which gives him a platform to build on - from the middle in our view. | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
11. LW: Minhyeok Yang
Not quite the influence of previous games but was a willing runner against Coventry. We've got the Spurs loanee to start the game again. | ProSportImages

Needs something to go his way after recent struggles, with Makenzie Kirk now breathing down the Magic Man's neck. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
