The Visitors

  • And while Jay Sadler’s side endured a tough start to life in the second tier, they have hit a rich vein of form of late
  • Pompey are unbeaten in their last three, claiming seven points in the process – a sequence of results which has pulled them off the foot of the table and up to 9th

  • Sadler’s side claimed a first win away at Sheffield United before following that up with a triumph over Sunderland at Fratton Park
  • Last time out, Pompey drew 0-0 away at local rivals Southampton
  • Key to their recent good form has been Sophie Quirk, who has three league goals to her name this term
