The results Portsmouth need to fall their way to remain top of League One

However, Kenny Jackett’s side could well be knocked off their perch come 5pm this evening.

The Blues are out of action this Boxing Day, having postponed their clash with Swindon due to five confirmed coronavirus cases.

In total, six games in League One have been cancelled today because of Covid cases.

As a consequence, Pompey could drop off the summit if Lincoln pick up a result.

The Imps, who sit in second on 35 points with Pompey, will be aiming to fully take advantage when they host basement-side Burton at Sincil Banks.

In truth, it’ll be a shock if Michael Appleton’s side don’t deliver a victory.

Doncaster, who are fourth on 33 points, were also hoping to leapfrog the Blues.

After losing to Shrewsbury on Tuesday, they were hoping for a second opportunity against Accrington at the Keepmoat.

However, Donny have been forced to scrap the game at the 11th hour due to positive coronavirus cases.

The Doncaster Free Press reports that three members of Rovers’ side have contracted the virus and the club are unable to get the rest of their squad and backroom staff tested in time.

They’ll be tested later this week.

Meanwhile, Charlton Athletic move to within a point of Pompey if they beat Plymouth at The Valley.
