Millwall v Portsmouth: Jordan Cross' predicted line-up as stretched squad face high-fliers

Here’s how Pompey writer, Jordan Cross, thinks John Mousinho’s side will line up as they go The Den to face Millwall in the Championship.

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.
