Pompey’s gruelling Championship schedule continues this lunchtime as John Mousinho’s men welcome Millwall to Fratton Park.
The Blues round off a demanding five games in 13 days against the Lions, with a win at PO4 potentially lifting them into the play-offs.
Mousinho’s troops, of course, are in a strong run of form, having claimed seven points from a possible nine since their Southampton defeat after the international break.
