Portsmouth trio to return

Lassana Diarra, Milan Baros and John Utaka all return from injury for Portsmouth’s Premier League trip to Manchester City on Sunday.

Manager Harry Redknapp is likely to recall on-loan Baros as Jermain Defoe’s partner up front, while at the back Glen Johnson is expected to recover in time from a bug that has restricted his training this week.

Redknapp is also looking to rest Niko Kranjcar after a busy spell for the Croatia midfielder.

Team (from): James; Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Davis, Diarra, Diop, Muntari, Kranjcar, Baros, Defoe, Kanu, Utaka, Mendes, Lauren, Hughes, Nugent, Aubey, Begovic.
