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 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).
