Preview

Wolves responded well to Jamie Vardy's 20th-minute opener on Friday night, coming from behind to take home all three points from their clash with Burnley at Turf Moor. That result ended a run of back-to-back Championship defeats for Cesar Peixoto's side.

Portsmouth travel to Molineux looking to claim their third consecutive Championship victory. John Mousinho's men followed up a 3-2 home win against a 10-man Sheffield United side with a narrow away victory against a free-falling Norwich outfit on Saturday.
