Rochdale will host Portsmouth for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors will closer to make a positive result in this game. I believe, Portsmouth are more ambitious team in this league. Visitors have an effective attack in the last matches. Also, they have a solid defense. In previous game Portsmouth is won 4-1 against Southend. Also, we have Rochdale who's is very average team in this league. However, they have fallen in their shape. They have four consecutive losses. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. They have relatively little chance. My pick - Portsmouth to win.

Man United against Spurs is always an interesting match, but today it is extra loaded when Jose Mourinho returns to Old Trafford - as coach for Spurs. We can only guess how the reception will be.
