Portsmouth predicted XI & bench v Cardiff City: 5 changes as new signings come in

Pompey are back in action this Saturday as they welcome Cardiff City to Fratton Park.

It’s been a tough start to the campaign at PO4, with John Mousinho’s new-look side picking just one win in their opening four league matches.

The Blues currently sit 21st in the early-season standings following a 2-0 defeat to Derby County in midweek.

The head coach will be searching for an instant response from his troops but will be boosted by the deadline day additions of Jayden Meghoma and Tyrese Shade.

There will also be a tough call to be made regarding Pompey’s 25-man EFL squad, which could play a key role in Mousinho’s selection against Cardiff.

With changes expected, here’s how we think the Blues could line-up against Brian Barry-Murphy’s newly-promoted side this Saturday.
