Kanu faces late test

Portsmouth have midfielder Pedro Mendes back from suspension for the trip to Arsenal but Barclays Premiership joint top-scorer Kanu faces a late fitness test on a knee injury.

With Andy Cole (Achilles), Lomana LuaLua (thigh) and Benjani Mwaruwari (hamstring) all out, the Nigerian is Pompey’s only hope to play up front against his former club.
