The EFL’s season curtain-raiser sees 9,000 Pompey fans march on the capital for the Carabao Cup opener at West Ham.
There’s much to consider in terms of injuries, fitness and new faces when it comes to the Blues line-up.
Here’s how Pompey writer Jordan Cross thinks John Mousinho will go at the London Stadium.
9. RW Adrian Segecic
The future is in the No10 position, but needs must for Segecic at present - and that means continuing on the right for now. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
10. CAM Ebou Adams
Played behind the striker last week in Darmstadt. May not be where a lot of supporters see Adams being most effective, but will likely carry on in that role. | Jason Brown
11. LW Luke Brooke-Smith
A big ask for the teenage new boy, but has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain on competitive bow against the relegated Premier League side. | Jason Brown
12. CF Colby Bishop
The challenge for his No9 shirt is coming, but Bishop has the chance to steal a march on Pompey's new Serb striker. | Jason Brown/Portmsouth FC
