Championship football is coming thick and fast for Pompey, who turn their attention to Watford this evening.
John Mousinho’s men make the trip to Vicarage Road off the back of a 1-0 triumph against Sheffield Wednesday, with the victory representing their first away from home since August.
Pompey face a Watford side who are within touching distance of the top six but fell to a 2-0 loss to Millwall over the weekend.
Although Mousinho is still battling a number of injury problems in his camp, Keshi Anderson joined the ranks on Tuesday evening on a free transfer following his exit from Birmingham City.
Here’s how we think the Blues could line-up at Vicarage Road tonight.
5. CB: Ibane Bowat
The 23-year-old could be handed a surprise recall to the starting XI this evening, with Mousinho looking to freshen things up with three games in nine days. Shaughnessy has, of course, missed a large portion of the season so far, and with Sunday's south-coast derby on the horizon it could be the perfect opportunity to rotate tonight. | Graham Hunt/ProSportsImages
6. LB: Zak Swanson
Struggled in a new-look central midfield role against Sheffield Wednesday but returned to left-back in the second half. The ex-Arsenal talent has been sensational as a left-sided full-back in Ogilvie’s absence, who will no doubt be pushing for a starting role following his injury return. | Getty Images
7. CM: Ebou Adams
The travelling Fratton faithful at Sheffield Wednesday caught a glimpse of what the new arrival can do following his introduction in the second half against the Owls. With a couple of days of training under his belt, Mousinho will be heavily inclined to hand the 30-year-old his full debut. | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages
8. CM: Andre Dozzell
Has had to vary between the number six and eight roles in recent weeks but with Adams able to operate in a more holding position, Dozzell will be given the freedom to push forward. | Jez Tighe/ProSportsImages
