Pompey welcome second-placed Ipswich Town to Fratton Park this evening. Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up.

Championship football keeps on coming for Pompey, who welcome second-placed Ipswich Town to Fratton Park this evening.

The Blues quickly turn their attention away from their huge 1-0 win against Middlesbrough on Saturday, with all eyes on yet another tough test against the promotion-hunting Tractor Boys.

John Mousinho’s troops will be looking to increase their advantage over the relegation zone, with tonight’s showdown their game in hand on their rivals.

Pompey, of course, sit just one point above the bottom three, with five matches remaining to secure their Championship status.

Saturday’s goal-hero Conor Chaplin is sidelined due to his loan agreement which doesn’t allow him to face his parent club, while Connor Ogilvie remains absent as he serves his suspension.

Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up at Fratton this evening to face promotion-chasing Ipswich.
