Pompey will be looking to pick up their first Championship victory in more than a month as they welcome Watford to Fratton Park this evening.
The Blues have suffered back-to-back defeats in the league for the first time this season and return to home soil following Saturday’s trip to Ipswich Town.
John Mousinho is facing a number of huge calls, with injuries becoming a real concern early in the season.
Here’s how we predict Pompey to line-up against the Hornets this evening.
17. SUB 5: Luke Le Roux
Handed his first league start last time out and looked to try to get on the ball as much as possible. If Mousinho opts with Pack, Le Roux is likely to drop back to the bench. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
18. SUB 6: John Swift
With Pack potentially handed a first start of the season, Swift could be utilised from the bench once again. Photo: Simon Roe
19. SUB 7: Harvey Blair
What a welcome boost this would be. Having missed the entirety of pre-season and the opening seven games, Blair is back to full fitness after a significant hamstring injury. A place on the bench is likely for the winger after Mousinho admitted he is in contention for tonight’s contest. Photo: Jason Brown
20. SUB 8: Minhyeok Yang
Looked bright and lively in his first start on Saturday but struggled in front of goal. Could drop to the bench, should Murphy return. Photo: Jez Tighe
