The Championship run-in is coming thick and fast for Pompey, who turn their attentions to Monday’s must-win showdown with relegation rivals Oxford United.
The Carrow Road draw ensured the Blues remain one point above the bottom three, with the fight for survival very-much intensifying.
And the battle to beat the drop will no doubt take a fresh twist tomorrow when Matt Bloomfield’s men visit PO4, with the winners taking a huge step towards survival.
We’ve put together how we think Mousinho’s side could line-up at Fratton Park on Monday for their must-win showdown against the U’s.
5. CB: Conor Shaughnessy
Shaughnessy and Poole are arguably Mousinho's best partnership at the heart of defence. Given the Irishman can only play one game a week as the Blues continue to manage his fitness, he was rested from the start against Norwich with the idea of being fit to feature on Monday in the huge showdown at Fratton Park. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages

6. LB: Connor Ogilvie
A tough afternoon at Norwich for Ogilvie, who struggled in some parts at Carrow Road. Given Swanson's current injury absence, the 29-year-old will resume his roles on the left. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Marlon Pack
Pack was withdrawn midway through the second half, and despite being cautioned after just five minutes at Carrow Road, put in a solid shift in the engine room. The skipper will have a huge part to play in the run-in, with his experience going to be vital to see off Oxford. | Jez Tighe
8. CM: Andre Dozzell
Back fit and back in the starting XI? That's one of the tough conundrums facing Mousinho. Dozzell looked calm and classy following his second-half introduction at Carrow Road, with his pinpoint set-piece delivery leading to the Blues' equaliser. Given Le Roux played the full 90 minutes - his first since November - would successive starts in three days be too much for the South African? | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages
