Pompey’s demanding Championship schedule continues this evening as John Mousinho’s men make the trip to Wolves.
The fixture was, of course, postponed on two occasions in September due to fixture congestion outside of the Blues’ control.
This means Mousinho’s troops are in action for the fourth time in 10 days as his depleted ranks travel to the West Midlands for their first Molineux visit in 17 years.
The head coach could be without as many as 11 players tonight after the Blues’ injury crisis worsened on Saturday when Colby Bishop pulled up in the warm up against Norwich City.
While the extent of his knee issue remains uncertain, academy defender Nathaniel Chioma was recalled on Monday, which suggests he could travel to Wolves.
A win could potentially lift Mousinho’s troops into the play-offs and above eighth-placed Wolves, who secured a 2-1 win over Burnley last time out.
Amid Pompey’s ongoing injury crisis, here’s how we think the Blues could line-up at Molineux.

2. GK: Nicolas Schmid
Schmid will not be looking to vacate his spot between the sticks once again and has been impressive since his recall to the side after the international break. | Jason Brown
3. RB: Terry Devlin
Games are coming thick and fast for Pompey as their gruelling schedule continues. Swanson has started the previous three matches at right-back, having put himself ahead of Devlin the ranks. With Mousinho looking to make some changes to freshen his squad up, however, the Northern Irishman is waiting in the wings and would be a natural replacement to give Swanson a much-needed rest ahead of the crucial game against Millwall on Saturday. | Jason Brown
4. CB: Regan Poole
Poole has roared back to his best, according to Mousinho, who branded the Welshman's Norwich City display as his best performance in a 'Pompey shirt for a long time. | Jason Brown
