Portsmouth face a stern test on Tuesday night with an away trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Cesar Peixoto's side are strongly fancied to win an instant return to the Premier League this season.

Despite this, Wanderers haven't made an uber-strong start to the campaign, winning five of their opening 10 matches.

As a result, the Old Gold sit eighth in the table, just three points above Pompey ahead of Tuesday night's game.

That means John Mousinho's men would draw level on points and potentially overtake Wolves in the table on goal difference with a win.

Pompey News has all they key information regarding how you can watch the action from Molineux live.

What television channel is broadcasting Wolves vs Portsmouth?

The eyes of the Championship will be on the West Midlands on Tuesday evening.

Indeed, Portsmouth's trip to Wolves is the only second-tier game taking place that night.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7:45pm, and there is only one place you can stream the game live.

The match will solely be available to watch via Sky Sports+, which is available at no extra cost with a Sky Sports package.

Alternatively, the channel can be accessed by purchasing a Sky Sports membership via NOW TV.

So, when was the last time Portsmouth and Wolves met, and what is Pompey's head-to-head record against Wanderers?

When was the last time Wolves beat Portsmouth?

Given the differing trajectories of these two football clubs over recent years, seldom have they met for quite some time.

This season's two league fixtures will be the first time Portsmouth and Wolves clash in the same division since the 2009-10 campaign.

Back then, this fixture was a Premier League one, and Pompey won both of their games against Wanderers that year 1-0 at Molineux and 3-1 at Fratton Park.

In fact, the Blues are currently on an unbeaten run against the Old Gold of six games in all competitions, stretching back to November 2002.

Wolves haven't beaten Portsmouth since a 3-2 victory in January 2002, so perhaps it's the away side on Tuesday night who should be favourites.

Marlon Pack will hope to captain his team to another big result in the Championship, as Pompey aim to really push on this year.

After two seasons of second-tier consolidation, the Fratton Park faithful are now wishing to see their side threaten the top half of the table, and even push for play-offs.

Following on from successive wins, if they can get another result against Wolves, then that would send a serious statement of intent to the league.
