Pompey’s stretched squad need to dig deep and go again, as they return to the capital to face Millwall tomorrow.
The Blues were excellent in mid-week, as they delivered a high-tempo and physical effort in victory at Charlton Athletic.
With a huge number of players sidelined, it’s going to be a big ask for John Mousinho’s men to go to the well again against high-flying opposition.
Here’s how we think Mousinho will play it, as he faces the challenge of going into The Den and getting a result.
