Portsmouth are preparing for their long-awaited return to the Championship after topping the League One table last season. The Blues finished with 97 points to secure their promotion up to the second division and their new challenge is now less than a month away.
Pompey will travel to Elland Road for their first match of the season, where Leeds United await after losing out on a spot back in the Premier League. The Whites were defeated by Southampton in the play-off final and will be pushing for another shot at promotion this time round.
We’ve taken a closer look at Portsmouth’s upcoming opponents and their full squad, as things stand. There is still plenty of time left on the transfer window too, meaning Leeds’ final squad for the 2024/25 season could still change.
