    Swansea City have been spared the prospect of losing midfielder Eom Jisung in January after the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia was postponed due to security fears.

    It is highly likely Eom, 24, would have been called up by South Korea for the 24-team tournament that was scheduled to take place from 7 January to 5 February.

    It could have meant Eom missing as many as five Championship matches while he was away on international duty.

    But Eom will now be available for Vitor Matos' side after the Asian Cup was rescheduled to run from 23 December, 2027 to 21 January, 2028.

    Only Birmingham City (13) have taken more than Swansea City's 12 points away from home in the Championship as the Welshmen travel to Portsmouth on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

    Pompey have taken 10 points from their past four home games after losing their first two matches of the season at Fratton Park.

    • Portsmouth lost both league meetings against Swansea last season, having been unbeaten in 13 against them beforehand (W5 D8).

    • Swansea won 2-1 at Fratton Park last season, but have never won back-to-back away league games against Portsmouth before.

    • Portsmouth have won their past two home league games, last winning three in a row in February-March 2025.

    • Swansea have lost just two of their past 10 away league games (W6 D2), though one of these was in their last such game at QPR (0-5).

    • Eight of the 10 away goals Swansea have conceded in the Championship this season have come in the first half, with four of those coming in the opening 10 minutes of games.
