Pair set for Pompey return

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp welcomes back skipper Sol Campbell (back) and midfielder Sean Davis (foot) from injury for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Plymouth at Fratton Park.

Striker Milan Baros will be added to the squad if his loan signing from Lyon and international clearance goes through in time.

Redknapp had pledged to field “my best team” and that looks certain to include David Nugent and Benjani Mwaruwari at the front of a 4-4-2 formation.

Redknapp is keen to reward Campbell’s deputy Noe Pamarot for his consistency in defence and it may be ever-present Sylvain Distin’s turn to take a rest.

Team from: James; Johnson, Campbell, Pamarot, Distin, Hreidarsson, Lauren, Davis, Diarra, Pedro Mendes, Kranjcar, Hughes, Benjani, Nugent, Mvuemba, Aubey, Songo’o, Begovic (gk).
