The big news is, of course, that Matthew Taylor will make his first league apperance for Pompey this season. He made his comeback this week and scored a goal in the Carling Cup second round victory.

Young midfielder Gary O'Neil, bound for Stoke City, has delayed his loan move in order to act as cover for a potentially depleted Portsmouth side.

Patrik Berger is definately out but Hayden Foxe and Steve Stone both face fitness tests fot the clash tomorrow.
