PREVIEW | Leicester City vs Portsmouth - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Leicester City host Portsmouth at the King Power Stadium this Saturday (7:45pm, Sky Sports +) as Championship action resumes after the international break.

The Foxes sit third in the table on 16 points after a 3-1 win at Swansea, while Portsmouth are 14th with 12 points following a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

Their last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, setting up an intriguing clash between a promotion-chasing Leicester and a mid-table Pompey side looking to build momentum.

The Fan Zone

Chris Forryan (Leicester till I Die tv (LTiDtv)): This will be a very emotional game, as it's the Milan Derby.

Milan Mandaric, who died a few weeks ago, was at different times, owner of both our clubs, bringing success to both in different ways.

A businessman yes, but also a football lover. Bought clubs when they were in trouble paying peanuts but taking on their debt, and selling to make a profit. But he left clubs in a better position than he found them

Prediction: 3-1

Daniel Oliveira (Playmaker Stats Editor): Portsmouth have had a mixed start to the season, and while the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough before the international break was a huge confidence boost, consistency has been lacking.

The team showed they can be dangerous at home, but defensive lapses against Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday have cost valuable points.

Now, an away trip to Leicester presents a tough challenge. The Foxes have been solid at home, conceding just twice in four games, while Pompey have struggled to find the net on the road.

That said, Mousinho will be hoping his side can stay compact, hit on the counter, and perhaps pull off another surprise result.

Prediction: 0-1
