Striker Svetoslav Todorov (knee) and midfielder Gary O’Neil (thigh) are “minor doubts” for Portsmouth’s Barclays Premiership match at Manchester City tomorrow night but manager Harry Redknapp is expected to name the same team which beat Blackburn 3-0 on Saturday.

Portsmouth are still trying to push through a deal to sign Kanu and avoid starting the season with just one fit striker.

FIRST, it was Ben Curtis in the 2003 Open Championship at Royal St Georges. Then came Shaun Micheel a few months later in the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
