Leeds v Portsmouth

Simon Johnson made his first start of the season for Leeds today in this crucial relegation battle.

The 21-year-old striker partnered Alan Smith up front in place of the suspended Mark Viduka.

Johnson came on in the final game of last season against Aston Villa and since then has made four appearances as substitute.

Veteran Lucas Radebe again appeared in midfield with Nicky Barmby having to settle for a place on the bench.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp decided to stick with Nigel Quashie in midfield even though Eyal Berkovic was available again.
