Pompey duo return

Portsmouth will stiffen their defence with the return of David Unsworth and Dejan Stefanovic at Everton tomorrow after losing Andy Griffin through a one-match ban for five yellow cards.

Unsworth, who has been out for a month with hamstring trouble, is keen to face his old club who allowed him to join Pompey on a free transfer in the summer.

Stefanovic, who tore a thigh muscle on Portsmouth’s last visit to Merseyside against Liverpool on December 1, was an unused substitute in the New Year’s Day draw with Norwich. Eyal Berkovic is still a flu doubt.

Team from: Hislop; Primus, Stefanovic, de Zeeuw, Unsworth, Taylor, Faye, Stone, O’Neil, Quashie, Cisse, Berger, Yakubu, Kamara, Fuller, Mezague, Curtis, Hughes, Berkovic, Ashdown (gk).
