Preview: Pompey vs Boro

29 December 2007 - 11:56

Everything is in Portsmouth's favour to get a win over Middlesbrough at Fratton Park today. Pompey have home advantage, a long standing record against Boro, and the players know they could move up to sixth with a win.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent

  • The Lowdown

    Portsmouth were impressive against Arsenal and are by far the better side in this match. It's 54 years since the Teessiders last registered a top-flight victory at Fratton Park.



    Injuries and Suspensions

    Gary O'Neil will be missing, Sean Davis is a major doubt with a hamstring injury. David Wheater (virus) is a big miss for Middlesbrough.



    Squads

    Portsmouth (from): James, Lauren, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Utaka, Diop, Mendes, Hughes, Muntari, Kranjcar, Kanu, Benjani, Taylor, Pamarot, Begovic, Mvuemba.



    Middlesbrough (from): Schwarzer, Turnbull, Young, Woodgate, Wheater, Pogatetz, Huth, Cattermole, O'Neil, Arca, Rochemback, Johnson, Shawky, Aliadiere, Downing, Tuncay, Lee, Hutchinson.
