A win for Sunderland at Fratton Park tonight will guarantee their Barclay's Premier League status for another season.
Three more points will do now for the Black Cats after Hull, Newcastle and Middlesbrough all failed to win their
respective matches on Saturday.
Victory against Pompey, who are now officially safe from relegation following the weekend's results, would lift the Black Cats to 39 points, five points clear of the bottom-three.
A draw on the south coast would give Sunderland a three-point cushion from danger ahead of the final round of fixtures, when Chelsea travel to the Stadium of Light.
Newcastle, who lost at home to Fulham, are at Aston Villa this Sunday, while fourth-bottom Hull, whose draw at Bolton leaves them one point better off than Alan Shearer's side, host Manchester United at the KC Stadium.
United won the title on Saturday by virtue of their draw with Arsenal and will contest the Champions League final with Barcelona three days after their visit to Humberside.
West Brom were the first team to be relegated from the Barclays Premier League yesterday, after Tony Mowbray's side were beaten 2-0 at home by Liverpool.
