Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth are in action under the Fratton Park lights on Friday night, live on Sky Sports.
Danny Rohl faces another new team in Portsmouth on Friday night, after Pompey earned promotion from League One under John Mousinho last time round.
It follows the end of the October international break earlier in the month, though Wednesday are yet to win since.
Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-0 against Burnley before drawing 0-0 against Swansea City at Hillsborough in midweek.
Rohl has addressed Sheffield Wednesday fans’ booing after the Swansea game, which saw the Owls fail to register a single shot on target.
They now sit in 18th place of the Championship table compared to Portsmouth in last place, with Pompey having won just one game in the league this season.
Last time out, Portsmouth lost 2-0 away at Cardiff City.

He said: “I just think, low-scoring, I think there’ll be a reaction from Pompey, especially given that it’s Friday night, Championship, live on the telly, and they’ll have to react to that disappointment at Cardiff.
“The fans will demand it. We know how good the atmosphere is there [Fratton Park], so I think it’s a narrow Pompey win or I think it’s a draw.”
