Pompey make the short trip to the capital this afternoon to take on QPR as they look to go into the final international break on a high.
The Blues go into the Loftus Road showdown just one point above the relegation zone following a disappointing run, which has seen them pick up just one point in their previous five matches.
QPR, meanwhile, have lost five of their previous seven matches, but did pick up a 3-1 win over 23rd-placed Leicester City last-time out.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this afternoon’s huge contest in west London.

2. Mark Kosznovszky - 6
(Replaced by Marlon Pack on 66 mins) Chosen ahead of Pack and Swift in the centre of midfield, the Hungarian was again neat and tidy, keeping things simple. Awful misplaced pass on 31 minutes almost gifted Derby a goal, but Schmid rescued him. Photo: Simon Roe

4. Josh Knight - Out
