There’s a number of key issues for the Blues boss to consider, in a number of different areas of the pitch.
Are Regan Poole and Conor Shaughnessy ready to feature in the middle of the back line? Does Millenic Alli continue after a drop in form? Who plays in the No10 position? And does Mousinho keep faith with Colby Bishop?
Our Pompey writer Jordan Cross has weighed up the talking points - this is how he thinks the Pompey head coach will go.

Can't overstate how important this man is to Pompey's bid to stay in the Championship. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
