Championship football is back on the agenda after the two-week international break and the season’s climax is on the horizon.
Pompey make the trip to Norfolk on Friday to face 10th-placed Norwich City bidding to move clear of the relegation zone at a crucial time of the campaign.
The fight for survival is well-and-truly on, with the Blues sitting just one point above the bottom three - but do hold a game in hand on their rivals.
John Mousinho will be looking for a much-improved showing from his troops, having slumped to a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of QPR last-time out.
The Blues will, though, be without Ebou Adams, who is expected to miss the next three matches with a knee issue, while Keshi Anderson is poised to complete his comeback from a hamstring injury.
Here’s how we think Mousinho’s men could line-up at Carrow Road on Friday hoping for a valuable three points.

13. SUB 1: Josef Bursik
Will no doubt be knocking on Mousinho's door for a start given Schmid's worrying run of form. | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages

14. SUB 2: Jordan Williams
The full-back has been an unused substitute in all of Pompey's previous seven matches, but will be ready to be called upon if needed. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages

15. SUB 3: Madiodio Dia
Currently ahead of Ibane Bowat and Hayden Matthews in the pecking order at the heart of defence. | Chris Foxwell/ProSportsImages

16. SUB 4: Luke Le Roux
The South African's last outing came against Sheffield United in mid-February, despite being named on the bench in all of the Blues' previous eight games. It will be highly unlikely to see Le Roux partner Pack in the engine room, given the fact the operate in the same role. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
