Portsmouth will host Norwich City at Fratton Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had their struggles upon promotion this season but have picked up very important points in recent games and now sit 23rd in the table, one point away from safety.
They picked up an impressive 3-0 victory over Bristol City last time out, with Colby Bishop opening the scoring midway through the first half before Josh Murphy and Callum Lang joined the striker on the scoresheet in the second half.
Norwich City have endured a disappointing campaign although they remain within touching distance of the playoff spots. They suffered a deflating 3-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers last time out and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the contest.
The Canaries sit 10th in the table with 25 points from 19 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.
