Predicted lineup for Portsmouth:
Schmid, Meghoma, Dia, Poole, Swanson, Mohamed, Pack, Kavuma-McQueen, Segečić, Kamara, Milovanović
Burnley
Burnley head into the Portsmouth game under new management: Fabio Celestini replaced Nicky Hayen as head coach on 28 October. Anel Ahmedhodzic is back in contention after completing concussion protocol, although Hjalmar Ekdal and Igor Julio are expected to start in central defence.
Up front, both Zeki Amdouni and Jamie Vardy remain sidelined through injury, so Andreas Hountondji and Armando Broja are the two candidates for the striker's shirt. Hountondji is currently expected to start. Jacob Bruun Larsen is also doubtful due to injury on the left.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth will be without Benjy Arthur, Luke Brooke-Smith, Colby Bishop, John Swift, Connor Ogilvie, Mark Kosznovszky and Keshi Anderson for the trip to Burnley. There is better news elsewhere: Franco Umeh has returned from injury and played in each of the last two matches, while Josh Murphy and Conor Shaughnessy have returned to training. Their availability will be decided after their recovery is assessed.
Jayden Meghoma is expected to return at left-back after missing the win over Millwall, while Zak Swanson should move back to the right.
