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.


14. SUB 2: Conor Shaughnessy
Mousinho confirmed after QPR that Shaughnessy will make his long-awaited return from injury against Charlton. A place on the bench is likely where we will see the centre-back from the start. A huge boost to Pompey's backline, though. Photo: Graham Hunt

16. SUB 4: Marlon Pack
The skipper will be pushing for a start after Kosznovszky picked up a dead leg on Friday. Pack will be the man most likely to come into the starting XI if not. | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
