Traore set for Pompey debut

New signing Djimi Traore is set to make his debut at left back for Portsmouth’s Barclays Premiership trip to Sheffield United allowing Matt Taylor to return to his favoured midfield berth.

Benjani Mwaruwari has been declared fit after a hamstring injury but manager Harry Redknapp is expected to start with 10-goal Kanu and former England striker Andrew Cole up front after their goals against Wigan in the FA Cup victory last week.
