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.
17. Sub 5: John Swift
Will be needed at some point with Gosport lad's calmness in possession potentially a big asset. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
18. Sub 6: Eoin Kenny
Caught the eye on Wednesday against Kuwait SC and every chance new boy gets some minutes. | Stephen Flynn/ProSportsImages
19. Sub 7: Odin Bailey
Interesting this one. Pompey obviously short in attacking areas - and Bailey can fill the No10 role. But also came on at left-back last weekend - and he is likely needed to do the same again at the London Stadium. | Simon Roe/ProSportsImages
20. Sub 8: Marko Milovanovic
It may be a glimpse, but expect a cameo of around 15 minutes or so from our big Serb. | Portsmouth FC/X
