Will the Blues boss ring the changes following such a poor performance in Wales? Or will he give those who let him and the travelling Pompey fans down the chance to redeem themselves against Sheffield Wednesday?
Those are the key questions on everyone’s mind ahead of such an important game. However, the three injuries picked up in midweek, plus an already sizeable injury list, means Mousinho could be restricted in what he can do to put such a disappointing defeat to bed.
Nevertheless, changes can be expected. So here’s how we think the Blues could line up as Friday night football returns to Fratton Park.
9. Forward 1 - Callum Lang
The Pompey favourite struggled to get into the game on Tuesday night in Cardiff but we all know what he's capable of. His energy will be key against the Owls. | National World
10. Forward 2 - Mark O'Mahony
The on-loan Brighton man was rested against Cardiff. He can be expected to start against the Owls, despite Kusini Yengi now pushing for a start. | National World
11. Forward 3 - Josh Murphy
Like many in a Pompey shirt on Tuesday night, Murphy was far from his atacking best. Additional defensive duties will not have helped his cause, with the winger at his best when fully focused on attacking his opponent. Restored to a more familiar left-wing attacking role tonight will surely allow him to showcase what he's about. | National World
