The Championship is a division that is always constantly filled to the brim with drama.
Looking at the second tier table at the moment, there is still a tantalising race on for that final automatic promotion spot in the league, next to table-topping Coventry City, alongside some places in the playoffs up for grabs.
Leicester City won't be looking at the race with much intrigue, however, as they're locked into a relegation battle at the foot of the competitive division.
While on-field matters are looking bleak at the moment for the Foxes, who are four points off 21st placed Portsmouth, developments surrounding West Bromwich Albion in 20th spot could blow the relegation tussle wide open.
A potential points deduction for the Baggies
Leicester knows all too well the agony of a points deduction, having been handed a minus six-point penalty due to a breach of EFL regulations this season, to really push them into the relegation mire.
West Brom could follow in their footsteps, with it now being reported that the West Midlands side have allegedly breached the EFL's profit and sustainablity rules.
James Morrison's outfit have protested their innocence since this revelation broke, but if they were found guilty, the points deduction could well come into play this season.
Depending on the severity of the deduction, West Brom would likely fall into the relegation zone, handing Leicester a last-minute chance to remain in the Championship, subsequently.
It does feel rather ironic that Leicester could benefit from a deduction, considering an earlier deduction got them into this mess.
But, Rowett's men won't want to just rely on this intervention to secure safety, with the under pressure Leicester head coach desperate for a rare win at the weekend at Fratton Park.
Leicester cannot depend on a points deduction
At the end of the day, with how long it could take for a deduction to come into effect, Leicester needs to try and concentrate on stringing together a run of victories, away from all this off-field talk.
With Portsmouth in 21st, just above the relegation zone, losing on the South Coast could be catastrophic to their survival chances, with or without a deduction being present.
Rowett will be demanding a more energetic and lively display than the one that was offered up against Swansea City on the weekend, with Leicester heads dropping all over the pitch after the Welsh side broke the deadlock.
Pompey will be a tough team to break down, as they've now gone unbeaten across April to really breathe life into their own survival bid.
But, they are susceptible at the back if you have a go at them, with a 6-1 defeat against Queens Park Rangers at the back-end of March still stinging for John Mousinho's men, as the R's only registered nine shots on the away side's goal all afternoon.
Leicester just need to lose their shackles and go for the match from minute one, with Rowett's best bet perhaps saying for his players to forget all about the points deduction drama, and act as if their only way of escape is to put in spirited and sprightly performances to get a fractured fanbase back on side.
