Is Norwich City v Portsmouth on TV? Kick-off time? Tickets and how to watch Championship contest

When is Norwich City v Pompey?

The Championship run-in continues to gather pace as Pompey face in-form Norwich City at Carrow Road on Good Friday.

The contest kick-starts a busy Easter weekend for the Blues, who will be looking to pull away from danger as the race for survival intensifies.

Supporters who are unable to make the trip to Norfolk will be able to tune into Sky Sports + from 2.55pm on Friday afternoon, with the game potentially having huge implications at either end of the Championship table. The action will then get underway from 3pm.

Can I get tickets?

Despite John Mousinho’s men falling to a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of QPR last-time out on their travels, Pompey will be backed by huge numbers once again this week.

The Blues’ 2,000 allocation in the South Stand at Carrow Road was quickly snapped up by the Fratton faithful last week, who will be hoping to play their part from the stands.

Last season, supporters witnessed Mousinho’s troops secure just their third away win of the campaign, with a 5-3 triumph over the Canaries.

Team news

There are concerns over Ebou Adams’ fitness, with Mousinho revealing after the defeat at QPR that the influential midfielder sustained a knee injury at Loftus Road.

Further doubt over the 30-year-old grew last week after he withdrew from the Gambia squad during the international break.

Meanwhile, Franco Umeh (hamstring), Mark Kosznovszky (knee), Josh Murphy (foot) and Aji Alese (quad) will sit out the remainder of the season, while it remains to be seen whether Florian Bianchini (knee) and Thomas Waddingham (quad) could feature in the final eight games of the campaign.

The Blues are, though, expected to be boosted by the timely returns of Keshi Anderson and Andre Dozzell, who have both recovered from hamstring and ankle issues.

Josh Knight (back) could be back in the fold against Middlesbrough next week.

Norwich are battling injury concerns of their own, with 14 players missing for their 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic before the international break.

Jack Stacey, Ben Chrisene, Mohamed Toure and Oscar Schwartau could return from the sidelines on Friday afternoon, while the fitness of Ruairi McConville will be assessed after he dropped out of the Northern Ireland squad on Monday.

Harry Amass, Shane Duffy, Gabriel Forsyth, Papa Amadou Diallo, Matej Jurasek, Lucien Mahovo, Jovon Makama, Jeffrey Schlupp, Mirko Topic and Ante Crnac are all expected to sit out Pompey’s visit.

Referee

The EFL are yet to confirm their refereeing appointments for the Easter weekend schedule, but will be updated in due course.
