Pick of the stats: Portsmouth v Sheffield United

In the upcoming Championship clash between Portsmouth and Sheffield United, the home side will aim to bounce back from a disappointing derby defeat at Southampton. Portsmouth's recent poor form against Sheffield United is evident, with the Blades holding a two-point lead over Portsmouth in the league table.

Sheffield United, who recently defeated Lincoln City 3-0, could secure back-to-back league wins at Portsmouth for the first time since May 1987. They have won one of their four home Championship games this season, while Portsmouth have only one victory in their first five home league matches.

Sheffield United's manager Chris Wilder averages 2.5 points-per-game against Portsmouth in the Championship, which is his joint-highest against any side he has managed in the competition.
