Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Portsmouth
Portsmouth will be seeking space between themselves and the bottom three as they head to Carrow Road on Good Friday (15:00 BST).
Pompey are only one point clear of the bottom three and on a dreary winless spell of six league games.
To add to their woes, Norwich will not be an easy opponent. The Canaries have been flying under boss Philippe Clement, winning five of their past six games (L1) to put them nine points under the play-off positions.
- Following their 2-1 win in August, Norwich are looking to complete the league double over Portsmouth for the first time since 1996-97.
- Portsmouth have won their last two away league games against Norwich, beating them 5-3 last season. They've never won three in a row against them before, while their two consecutive wins is more than they managed in their previous 15 visits to Carrow Road (W1 D7 L7).
- Since the weekend of Philippe Clement's first game in charge in November, no side has won more Championship games than Norwich (14, level with Coventry City).
- Portsmouth have lost five of their last six league games (D1), including the last three in a row. They last lost four consecutively in March 2021 in League One.
- Only Sheffield Wednesday (43) and Oxford (55) have had fewer big chances than Portsmouth in the Championship this season (58), while Pompey have the lowest big chance conversion rate (24.1%).
