Norwich have settled in very nicely in the opening exchanges, pressing ferociously and pinning the Foxes back in their own half.

Jakub Stolarcyk has also settled down, connecting with his second clearance perfectly and also clutching a teasing low cross from the Canaries right cleanly.

Pompey fans are finding their voices early on in this game.

There has been very little pressure on the ball from Hull so far, and it seems as if Hull are happy to just hold their line.

Oli McBurnie thinks he has headed the away side into the lead inside the opening minute but it's disallowed for offside.

Straight down the other end, Zak Swanson draws a decent save from Ivor Pandur from range.

Great start to this one!

With Carlton Morris back up front and having Sam Szmodics, Ben Brereton Diaz and Patrick Agyemang behind him, Derby have a strong forward line.

Looking at that, it's perhaps understandable to see why John Eustace left Blackburn for the Rams 12 months ago.

The team today does not have any survivors from Derby's 2-1 win over these same opponents in March last year.

The atmosphere has ramped up inside the King Power, despite all the controversy outside with the protests.

You wouldn't be able to tell that Leicester are struggling.

Jakub Stolarcyk was expecting to be on the Foxes bench today but Asmir Begovic's late withdrawal in the warm-up saw him handed an 11th hour start.

His first touch comes right from kick-off but he slips on the slick surface as he launches a clearance and is glad to see it land with a blue shirt on halfway.

I want to say that Portsmouth can get the win here, but a win is never easy.

Hull are pushing for the play-offs, and are right in the mix up there, so today is going to be a really tough game for Pompey.

When you look at the Portsmouth midfield it is strong with Ebou Adams alongside Marlon Pack seem to be a good combination in the middle - they really compliment each other.

A group of Leicester fans have made their feelings clear towards the club ownership before today's early kick-off.

With the Foxes lying in the bottom three of the Championship, just 10 months on from their Premier League relegation, with a six-point deduction for financial misconduct and on their third manager in less than a year, things appear to be coming to the boil as fan unrest grows at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester have been under the ownership of King Power International since 2010 but the message from the fans outside the ground is clear 'sell the club' they are chanting.

When Leicester City put Gary Rowett in charge of their battle to avoid the Championship drop, they got themselves a no-nonsense, straight-talking experienced boss.

He has an expansive CV at this level, having managed Stoke, Birmingham City, Derby County, Millwall and then successfully kept Oxford United up last season.

He has also worked extensively as a media pundit over the years in between management jobs.

And it was on Sky Sports earlier in February that the former Leicester player said a few things that will resonate with the disgruntled fanbase that are again today protesting against the way the club is being run.

While covering a Leicester match, the 51-year-old blamed "very, very poor management" on the Foxes' fall,, external from winning the Premier League title in 2016 to battling to avoid relegation to League One a decade later.

Rowett was being quizzed about the vacancy and how attractive the job could be when he said: "I think the next step for Leicester has to be the right step for them because you can't go from winning the Premier League to being in League One in a matter of a few seasons, that is very, very poor management."

He was asked about those comments ahead of his first home game in charge today and told BBC East Midlands Today: "For me it was more of a generic thing that when you see the team and, I'm sure everyone would potentially agree here, when you see a team winning the Premier League and where we are right now at this moment, of course without connecting the dots you say, how has that happened?

"It was more a generic comment rather than about individuals really. I haven't had to clarify that and think people will see it for what it is and we move forward."

Leicester will try to end their eight-game winless Championship streak and climb out of the relegation zone when they host Norwich in a lunchtime humdinger.

The Foxes remain third-bottom, a point behind West Brom, despite picking-up back-to-back draws under Gary Rowett, at Stoke last Saturday and at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, but have lost their past three games at the King Power and last won against Albion on 5 January.

Norwich climbed to 17th, eight points clear of the drop-zone after following last Saturday's home defeat to Birmingham with a 2-0 success against Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road on Wednesday night.

The hosts are looking for a sixth-straight win over the Canaries, and might have reinforcements to call on, but they are on their longest home losing streak outside the top flight in 112 years, and Norwich have earned 12 points from their past five away games.

Travelling Hull City fans will have fond memories of their visit to Fratton Park on the final day of last season.

That day in May the Tigers picked up a point to secure their Championship status.

This time around the East Yorkshire side travel down with pressure of a different sort, as they look to continue their push in the top six.

Three wins in six have lifted Portsmouth away from immediate danger at the wrong end of the table and a home victory today could go some way to ensuring they're in the second tier again next season.

Derby boss John Eustace faces his old club Blackburn for the third time today since leaving Ewood Park just over 12 months ago.

The Rams have delivered two victories for him so far and three points this lunchtime would be a big boost after successive away losses last week.

Those two results have dropped Derby back into the pack in 12th and in need of a big finish to have a realistic chance of more games in May.

It says something about the job Eustace did at Blackburn and the difficulties they have faced, that he has a new opponent in the dugout today in Michael O'Neill.

The Northern Ireland manager had an immediate impact with two wins from two, but defeat to Bristol City on Tuesday was a setback and with either Oxford or West Brom certain to pick up something later, Blackburn can't really afford back-to-back losses.

Still, there is more optimism about Rovers' fate with him at the helm than in the last days of Valerien Ismael and that counts for a lot.
