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.
13. SUB 1: Josef Bursik
Mousinho admitted his decision to drop Burisk for the returning Schmid had nothing to do with his performances during his stint in the Austrian's absence. Adds brilliant cover on the bench. Photo: Graham Hunt

15. SUB 3: Hayden Matthews
The Aussie defender will have to remain patient on the sidelines, while Poole and Knight continue at the heart of the backline. | Paul Phelan
16. SUB 4: Marlon Pack
His experience in the middle of the park will surely be needed at some point this evening. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
