Portsmouth v Sheffield Wed: Jordan Cross' predicted line-up with Mousinho facing big calls

Pompey return to Fratton Park against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship tomorrow. Here’s how we think John Mousinho will go against Henrik Pedersen’s side.

John Mousinho faces some intriguing calls against Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.

The chief focus will be on who starts between the sticks with Nico Schmid facing up 12 weeks with a hand injury picked up against Southampton.

Ben Killip and new boy Josef Bursik after the considerations in the key area at Fratton Park, while the situation at left-back is under the microscope with Conor Ogilive rated ‘50-50’ for the game after his collision with Schmid.

Elsewhere, the likes of Luke Le Roux and Marlon Pack are pushing for inclusion in midfield, but this is how Pompey writer Jordan Cross thinks Mousinho will go.

13. Sub 1: Josef Bursik

Would've had designs on being on the bench - and consequently featuring against Southampton. Killip was favoured, but clearly now a lot closer to Championship playing time with Schmid out. | Portsmouth FC

14. Sub 2: Jordan Williams

Really impressed in the second half last weekend at St Mary's in unaccustomed left-back role. Did enough to suggest he'll start over Jacob Farrell if Ogilvie doesn't make it. Photo: Steve Bailey
