Predicted final 2025-26 Championship table - and where Portsmouth, Southampton, Sheffield United & Co finish

After the highs of last weekend’s south-coast derby against Southampton, Pompey came crashing back to earth on Saturday.

The Blues suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in front of 20,225 at Fratton Park, who were left disappointed at the full-time whistle.
