Portsmouth go to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham and manager Harry Redknapp for the first time since his sudden departure for North London in October.
Since arriving on the Tottenham touch line, Redknapp has won 11 of 20 games in all competitions; five of 13 in the Premier League.
Redknapp's successor at Fratton Park, Tony Adams, has not faired as well, having won four of 17 since taking over in a caretaker role originally; two of 12 in the Premier League.
But Pompey are still four places higher in the table. However if Tottenham achieve their 150th home victory in Premier League history, they will leapfrog the south coast outfit.
Portsmouth have not beaten a London club in the Premier League since winning the reverse fixture in September.
White Hart Lane has witnessed fewer Premier League goals than any other ground this season; just 14 compared to an unequalled 80 last term.
Tottenham are defending a 100% home Premier League record over Portsmouth of five wins out of five, with an aggregate of 14-6.
Distance between the clubs: 110 miles (178 kilometres)
