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.

20. SUB 8: Keshi Anderson
Anderson will give Pompey a much-needed injury pick-me-up at Carrow Road and will no doubt ease the workload on Alli. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
