Portsmouth predicted XI v Exeter: What changes to expect from John Mousinho's first team selection and style of play wanted for Fratton Park debut

Aggressive, on the front foot, fast-paced – the style of football new Pompey head coach John Mousinho hopes to bring to Pompey following his appointment as head coach.

It’s something those in the corridors of power believe has not been seen enough of at Fratton Park in recent years.

So with Mousinho set to be thrown into the deep end with a home game against Exeter today, what can we expect from his first starting XI?

Well, after just one training session with his newly-inherited group, implementing that straight away could prove difficult.

But with the former Oxford man desperate to make a good first impression on the fan base and determined to get the Blues back to winning ways, there’s no doubt that message will have been heard loud and clear by the players.

Mousinho will also be keen to put his stamp on the starting XI, irrespective of his newness to the job.

So with a track record of playing in a 4-3-3 system at Oxford, here’s how we think the Blues could line up against the Grecians.
