Pick of the stats: Portsmouth v Leicester City

[BBC]

Portsmouth head into this clash having further boosted their Championship survival hopes with an impressive 2-0 win over Ipswich on Tuesday.

That victory meant Pompey moved four points clear of the relegation zone and stretched their unbeaten run to four games with a chance of making it three wins on the bounce here.

Second-bottom Leicester will be desperate for a win after last Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Swansea.

No wins in five means the Foxes are five points from safety before their trip to Fratton Park, making this a massive game for Gary Rowett's side if they are to stand any chance of avoiding relegation.

• Portsmouth are unbeaten in their past five league games against Leicester (W2 D3), with each of the last three all finishing 1-1.

• This is Leicester's first away league game against Portsmouth since a 1-1 draw in November 2011. Their previous visit prior to that draw was a 6-1 defeat.

• Portsmouth have lost their past two home league games on a Saturday, both by the same scoreline (1-0 v Sheffield United and Hull). They have not lost three in a row since April 2018, when they were in League One.

• Leicester have taken just 13 points from 54 available in the Championship in 2026 (W2 D7 L9) – indeed, only bottom side Sheffield Wednesday (three) have picked up fewer points in the division since the turn of the year.

• Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu has completed the most dribbles (108) in the Championship this season, while he has also been involved in more shots following a carry than any other player (76 – 54 shots, 22 chances created).
