Pompey will be looking to put last weekend’s 2-1 defeat against Norwich City behind them as they turn their attentions to Saturday’s trip to West Brom.
There will be plenty to consider for John Mousinho, who will be without the injured Callum Lang after sustaining a hamstring issue in the Canaries loss. However, Josh Knight could be considered after completing his move from Hannover 96 on Thursday.
Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
9. RM: Adrian Segecic
The Aussie sensation has enjoyed an outstanding start to the season, scoring in both Championship matches to date. Could be moved to the right-wing following Lang’s injury. | Getty Images
10. CAM: John Swift
A first return to the Hawthorns for Swift, who was released by the Baggies at the end of last term. With Lang’s injury prompting a reshuffle, the midfielder could be moved into his more natural number 10 position having started the season in a holding role. Photo: Simon Roe
11. LM: Josh Murphy
Murphy was frustrated against Norwich and was unable to unlock the Canaries’ defence. Pompey fans will be hoping to see the winger back to his best following his early-season injury concerns. | Getty Images
12. ST: Colby Bishop
Missed a penalty last Saturday but has been backed by Mousinho to lead the line. Will be looking to cause the West Brom defence problems as he looks to open his goal-scoring account for the season. | Steve Bailey/ProSportsImages
