Championship action is coming thick and fast for Pompey, who are back in action on Wednesday evening against fellow early relegation rivals Sheffield United.
The Blues go into the Bramall Lane contest on a high after picking up their first win in six games on Saturday, with an impressive 3-1 triumph against Millwall.
Meanwhile the Blades, who sit four points and three places below John Mousinho’s men heading into the latest round of fixtures, claimed Steel City bragging rights on Sunday, with a 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
With a big trip tomorrow followed by a lunchtime kick-off against Bristol City this weekend, there are plenty of big calls to be made by the Pompey boss on Wednesday.
Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up against a Sheffield United outfit, who deploy a 4-2-2-2 formation.

2. GK: Nicolas Schmid
A welcome return to the side on Saturday after 10 games out for the Austrian. Unlucky not to keep a clean sheet but could do very little to stop Mihailo Ivanovic’s effort from close range. | Paul Phelan
3. RB: Terry Devlin
Another strong performance at right-back for the Northern Ireland international, who is slowly making that position his own as Swanson and Williams vye for a spot at left-back. | Paul Phelan/ProSportsImages
4. CB: Regan Poole
A cool, calm and collective character at the heart of the defence for the Blues and has come to the rescue on a number of occasions this term. Just one of two players to have started every Championship fixture for Pompey this season and that will continue on Wednesday evening. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
