No question about Pompey, they are a deadly team with Defoe, Baros and Kanu now up front and players like Muntari, Krancjar, Diop and Utaka in the centre of the park.

Add to the mix the top goal keeper in the top flight of English Football, David James, who single handedly got Pompey the victory against Preston last week.

Sunderland are very poor away from home, and Roy Keane always plays defensively just to secure draws in these away games. This is somethign that Pompey can definitely take an advantage off.

With Sunderland continuing to struggle, Pompey should be able to keep themselves in the hunt for the 4th place position along with Villa and Everton, and should pick up this victory.

Players who are part of the squad:

Portsmouth: James; Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Diop, Muntari, Diarra, Kranjcar, Utaka, Defoe, Baros, Kanu, Davis, Hughes, Aubey, Lauren, Ashdown.

Sunderland: Gordon, Ward, Bardsley, McShane, Evans, Collins, Harte, Whitehead, Etuhu, Reid, Leadbitter, O'Donovan, Jones, Waghorn, Murphy, Stokes, Chopra, Prica.
