The curtain comes down on Pompey’s second-successive campaign back in the Championship on Saturday afternoon as they welcome Birmingham City to Fratton Park.
The Blues will be looking to end the season on a high and go into the final-day showdown having lost just one of their previous seven matches.
John Mousinho’s men have, of course, already secured their second-tier survival and sit seven points clear of the bottom three in 18th.
The head coach has hinted over further changes to his side this week, with the likes of Hayden Matthews, Harvey Blair and Luke Le Roux all handed rare starts in their 3-1 triumph over Stoke City last-time out.
Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up for Saturday’s season finale as they look to go into the summer on a winning note.
17. SUB 5: John Swift
Swift has had to play a bit-part role on his return to PO4 this term, but his contributions have still been key to the Blues' survival. | Alun Roberts/ProSportsImages
18. SUB 6: Harvey Blair
An assist last-time out for the winger, who made his first start in more than two months. Blair will have all eyes on pre-season as he looks to establish himself as a frontline option. | The News
19. SUB 7: Josh Murphy
It's been so good to see Murphy back on the pitch, having missed four months with a foot issue. The 31-year-old has been utilised from the bench in recent games as Mousinho looks to build up his fitness | Dennis Goodwin/ProSportsImages
20. SUB 8: Jacob Brown
It will be highly unlikely the Blues will re-sign the loanee on a permanent basis this summer. Brown has netted one goal in his 14 outings at Fratton to date. | Alun Roberts/ProSportsImages
