Four successive draws have put paid to hopes of a top-six finish this season for Pompey.
But John Mousinho and his side need to give Fratton Park something to smile about going into the summer.
That will be their motivation as Accrington arrive fighting for their lives.

Been out of the squad to get the right cover on the bench, but Mousinho will want to keep the defender involved - maybe even with a start. Photo: Jason Brown

Plenty feel Thompson is worthy of a start with some poor form elsewhere in the side. Photo: Jason Brown
