Whatever decision is taken will be made tougher by the fact the Blues came from a goal down at Derby on Saturday to rescue a point at Pride Park.
So what does Mousinho do for his unbeaten side’s latest challenge? Does he stick to the team that served him well at the Rams, or does he freshen it up, with the likes of Tino Anjorin also waiting on his first start.
Here’s how we think the Blues will line up tonight against Barnsley.

9. Right-wing: Gavin Whyte
Pompey fans are waiting patiently to see the best of the summer arrival from Cardiff. Will likely be given another chance to prove himself on the right flank after operating in the No10 role against Derby. Photo: Jason Brown
Playing Gavin Whyte behind Colby Bishop against Derby on Saturday didn't work. And with Christian Saydee unlikely to be 100-per-cent fit after his recent injury, a place on the bench might be his best bet. That allows the impressive Robertson to move further forward again, after playing a deeper role in the absence of Morrell. Photo: Jason Brown
The Northern Irishman has been building a head of steam in recent games. He needs a run of matches, and with Abu Kamara having a below-par game against Derby in the continued absence of Scully, this might be the opportunity for Lane to stake his claim. Tino Anjorin will likely also be in contention here, after replacing Kamara against the Rams. However, he might need a bit of additional time to build up his fitness to get his maiden league start.

Was under the weather ahead of the Derby game - but proved a fighter as he played and scored against the Rams. No new concerns have been reported after that game at Pride Park, so expect Bishop to lead the line once again. Photo: Jason Brown
