Championship football is coming thick and fast for John Mousinho’s men, who make the midweek trip to Watford this evening.
Despite one defeat in their previous six matches, Pompey dropped back into the relegation zone following Tuesday’s results.
Watford, meanwhile, suffered their first league loss in eight matches, with Millwall claiming a 2-0 victory at Vicarage Road.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news ahead of this evening’s Championship contest.

Mousinho confirmed on Monday that Lang had returned to training for the first time since his injury after the triumph against QPR on Boxing Day. The forward, though, isn’t expected to complete his comeback to action for another three weeks. | Iconic Media
