Pompey’s Championship run-in commences this evening as they welcome Derby County to Fratton Park.
The Blues will be looking for a much-needed return to winning ways and head into tonight’s showdown without maximum points in any of their previous four league matches.
The Rams, meanwhile, visit the south coast occupying eighth position in the standings, with a win at PO4 closing the gap on the play-offs.
Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up under the lights at Fratton.
9. RW: Gustavo Caballero
The Paraguayan will be buoyed by a maiden international call-up to the national side for their upcoming friendlies with Greece and Morocco. Caballero was really impressive during the second half against Swansea and will be looking to continue his strong form again tonight. | Getty Images
10. CAM: John Swift
Neither Conor Chaplin or Adrian Segecic were able to nail down the number 10 role in Swift's absence. Although the 30-year was named on the bench against Swansea on his return from the sidelines, the form shown before his hamstring set-back could see him start against the Rams now he's back to full fitness. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
11. LW: Millenic Alli
A really frustrating evening for Alli against Swansea, which saw him withdrawn at the break. Mousinho put his concerning display down to tiredness, given his relentless work load following his January arrival. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages

12. ST: Jacob Brown
Potentially a huge call to be made for Mousinho as he tries to solve the Blues' goal-scoring output. Bishop has come under scrutiny for his threat in front of goal this term, which has seen him net just twice in the Championship to date. Brown, though, looked bright on Tuesday and netted his first goal for the club following his deadline day loan switch. Could Mousinho give the versatile attacker the nod to lead the line this evening? | Getty Images
