Championship football keeps coming thick and fast for Pompey, who get 2026 underway with a trip to Bristol City.
The Blues are enjoying an improved run of form and extended their unbeaten run to four games on Monday.
Pompey make the trip to Ashton Gate this afternoon sitting three points above the relegation zone and face the Robins, who are two points away from the play-offs in eighth.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news ahead of the New Years’ Day showdown.
