Pompey are back on home turf this evening as they face mid-table Swansea City to Fratton Park.
The Blues, of course, suffered late stoppage-time disappointment against Blackburn Rovers last-time out as they threw away maximum points at Ewood Park.
Despite Connor Ogilvie netting an 84th-minute opener, Rovers netted a 93rd-minute equaliser to share the points between the two survival-fighting sides.
John Mousinho’s men quickly turn their attention to another crucial fixture in their battle to beat the drop, with 14th-placed Swansea making the trip to the south coast.
With tough calls to be made, here’s how we think the Blues could line-up against the Welsh outfit tonight.
5. CB: Connor Ogilvie
Ogilvie thought he netted the winner against Blackburn only for his late strike to be cancelled out by Carter at the death. The 30-year-old has, though, solidified his spot in the heart of defence in recent weeks and looks an established figure at centre-back. | Paul Thompson/ProSportsImages
6. LB: Zak Swanson
His deliveries deserve a note of praise after a number of brilliant balls into the box from set-piece situations, with his free-kick also leading to Ogilvie’s opener against Blackburn. Mousinho has made it clear he now sees the 25-year-old as his first-choice left-back at present. | Paul Thompson/ProSportsImages
7. CM: Marlon Pack
The skipper is enjoying a brilliant run of games in Dozzell’s absence, which has seen him start the previous five Championship matches. Pack is looking solid in the engine room, with his displays getting better and better every week alongside Ebou Adams. | Getty Images
8. CM: Ebou Adams
Mousinho revealed in his pre-match press conference that the ‘General’ is playing through the pain after suffering a hand injury against Hull City at the end of February. Adams also received lengthy treatment during the first half against Blackburn after a collision with the electronic advertising boards, but was fit to continue for the rest of the contest. The midfielder is made of stern stuff and will be in the starting XI this evening. | Paul Thompson/ProSportsImages
