Aston Villa will be keen to pick up some points after their loss to Arsenal last Saturday, and Pompey's European charge continues - this will be an interesting one with two inform sides, both sit side by side each other on equal points in the top seven of the Premier League table.
Injuries
Stiliyan Petrov has been ruled out for up to two weeks, but Reo-Coker returns from suspension. Lauren (hamstring), Martin Cranie (broken leg) and Linvoy Primus (knee) miss out and so will Sean Davis.
O'Neill praises Redknapp
"Harry has done a terrific job. He has got an eye for a player. He has proved that all his career and he has got a strong side together.
"They are physical, they have ability and plenty of experience in the team. It is a good mix, a really good mix.
"I think they have the squad to make them as good a bet as anyone to threaten the top four this season."
Squads
Aston Villa (from): Carson, Taylor, Sorensen, Mellberg, Laursen, Knight, Davies, Bouma, Gardner, Reo-Coker, Barry, Young, Osbourne, Carew, Agbonlahor, Moore, Harewood, Salifou, Berger, Maloney, O'Halloran.
Portsmouth (from): James; Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Pamarot; Utaka, Pedro Mendes, Muntari, Diop, Kranjcar, Benjani, Kanu, Nugent, Taylor, Hreidarsson, Mvuemba, Traore, Davis, Ashdown.
Eyefootball Premiership Predictor
Aston Villa 1-1 Portsmouth
What a cracking game this will be. Whoever picks up the points will really be the team that feels they are pushing for the top big four teams, but an away draw for Pompey will keep Redknapp very happy. Will be a great game.
Goalscorer: Utaka
