Harry set to ring the changes

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is set to make wholesale changes for his side’s Carling Cup third-round tie with Burnley at Turf Moor tomorrow.

Redknapp made nine for the 3-0 win over Leeds in the last round, and with this game kicking off around 48 hours after the 1-0 victory at Blackburn yesterday, a similar number is expected.

Jamie Ashdown, Matt Taylor, Pedro Mendes, Martin Cranie, David Nugent, Noe Pamarot, Richard Hughes and Arnold Mvuemba are all likely to start.

Team (from): James, Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Utaka, Davis, Muntari, Diop, Taylor, Pedro Mendes, Kranjcar, Kanu, Cranie, Benjani, Nugent, Pamarot, Traore, Hughes, Mvuemba, Ashdown.
