PREVIEW
With direct promotion rivals Blackburn Rovers and Shrewsbury Town playing in 3pm kick-offs at MK Dons and at home to Oxford United respectively, Latics will know the permutations of the outcome of their clash at Fratton Park before they kick-off. Ultimately, though, a fifth consecutive victory is likely to be all that will do for Paul Cook's side if they wish to protect their lead at the top with games in hand.
Latics need to win seven of their last nine games to guarantee promotion and a win on the South Coast against play-off chasing Portsmouth would be a huge step towards the Sky Bet Championship.
Kenny Jackett's side, fresh off the back of a win at Walsall on Sunday, have won their last three matches following back-to-back home defeats. They have also kept clean sheets in each of those three wins. Something must give...
