Recent respective form guides
Portsmouth's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Pompey have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Portsmouth are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 26 matches. Chelsea sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 55 points from their 27 games.
