The festive football keeps coming for Pompey, who are back in action for one final time in 2025 on Monday.
Following Boxing Day’s 1-1 draw against QPR just two days ago, attention turns to a crucial game against relegation rivals Charlton Athletic.
John Mousinho's men will, of course, be looking to move out of the Championship’s bottom three and welcome an Addicks side, who have won just one of their previous eight matches.
With Pompey in the midst of a packed schedule, could the head coach freshen things up at PO4 on Monday or will he stick with the same side?
Here’s how we think the Blues will line-up in their final league game of 2025.

Poole continues to impress with his performances in the heart of defence following his return from an ankle issue. An early contender for Player of the Season with his gutsy displays in what has been a tough start to the campaign at PO4. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
6. LB: Zak Swanson
Swanson has flourished in his new-look role at left-back and made an instant return to the side last-time out after missing Derby County through illness. | Paul Phelan/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Andre Dozzell
The midfielder has been an ever-present for the Blues this season, missing just one game out of the opening 22 due to suspension. It was another strong performance against his former side on Friday and will maintain his spot in the engine room. | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
8. CM: Mark Kosznovszky
Kosznovszky is enjoying a good run in the side and has started four of the the Blues' previous seven Championship matches. The Hungarian, though, was withdrawn against QPR in the second half due to a dead leg, although Mousinho did stress his issue was nothing serious. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
