Adams opts for one-man attack

Portsmouth manager Tony Adams opted for a one-man attack for his side’s crucial UEFA Cup clash in Germany.

Jermain Defoe was asked to operate alone up front with Peter Crouch dropped to the bench as Arnold Mvuemba came in to bolster the midfield alongside Niko Kranjcar.

Captain Sol Campbell was fit to take his place in the centre of defence.

Wolfsburg were still without star striker Grafite due to a fractured skull, although their side included two players with three goals in this year’s competition, Zvjezdan Misimovic and Edin Dzeko.
