Portsmouth – Norwich

Portsmouth will be looking to claw their way out of the relegation mire when they host Norwich, a side perched just two points above them in 12th place. The Fratton Park side have gathered only seven points from six games – two wins, a draw and three defeats – and sit on a modest -1 goal difference after netting seven and conceding eight. Norwich, meanwhile, sit on nine points, their three victories balanced by four losses and a perfectly even 13‑13 goal tally. The two clubs have yet to meet this season, and the encounter offers Portsmouth a chance to bridge the gap while Norwich aim to consolidate their mid‑table standing.
