Portsmouth are back in Championship action on Saturday when they take on Sheffield Wednesday at Fratton Park.

Pompey are looking to continue their good start to the 2025/26 campaign, which currently sees them ninth in the table.

The 0-0 draw against Southampton on Sunday now means that John Mousinho’s side are just one point off the playoffs after five matches.

Now, with struggling Sheffield Wednesday next to arrive at Fratton Park, Portsmouth will be hoping for three points.

As a result, Pompey News has highlighted everything you need to know about the upcoming clash.
