Southampton v Portsmouth: Jordan Cross' predicted line-up as Mousinho faces massive calls

It’s the big one as Pompey collide with their fierce rivals once again at St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.

There will be good players who won’t make the squad let alone the bench, after the close of summer transfer business on September 1.

Here’s how Pompey writer Jordan Cross thinks Mousinho will go with the stakes high along the M27.
