The Blues make the short mid-week trip to Oxford United this evening looking to end their run of three straight draws.
This has seen John Mouisnho’s men fail to capitalise on dropped points from their play-off rivals in recent weeks and now sit six points away from the top six.
Paddy Lane returned to action on Saturday after being sidelined by a hamstring injury, while the contest is expected to come too soon for Tom Lowery.
Here’s how we believe Pompey could shape-up this evening against the U’s.
5. CB - Clark Robertson
The skipper was replaced by Di’Shon Bernard for the final minutes against Shrewsbury but there’s no injury concerns so he could partner Raggett in defence. Photo: Jason Brown
6. LB - Connor Ogilvie
Once again looked strong at left-back, making a number of powerful, attacking runs down the left flank. Photo: Jason Brown
7. CM - Marlon Pack
Gave every Pompey fan hope when he bundled home an 82nd-minute equaliser on Saturday but came under fire from some supporters on social media after his display. Photo: Jason Brown
8. CM - Louis Thompson
Has struggled for starts and game time under Mousinho but could find his way into the midfield this evening after Ryan Tunnicliffe’s under-par performance on Saturday. Photo: Jason Brown
