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.
13. Rocco Vata - Doubt
Vata scored the winner deep into stoppage time in this meeting last term and could return to the picture for the Hornets this evening. The striker has been out of action since the start of November due to a hamstring injury, but is closing in on making the matchday squad | Getty Images
14. Josh Murphy - Out
The head coach allayed any fears over a serious injury to the star winger, who was spotted in a protective boot on Saturday. The 30-year-old is stepping up his recovery but is still three weeks away from a return. | Iconic Media
