No changes for Pompey

Portsmouth caretaker-manager Paul Hart is set to name a rare unchanged side for the FA Cup holders’ Fratton Park meeting with Chelsea on Tuesday.

Hart will field the same line-up that started Portsmouth’s 2-2 draw at relegation rivals Stoke nine days ago.

Midfielder Richard Hughes and goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown are back in training after recovering from injuries but will not be considered for selection.

Senegalese international Papa Bouba Diop remains sidelined with knee ligament damage.

Team (from): James, Johnson, Distin, Campbell, Hreidarsson, Pennant, Davis, Basinas, Kranjcar, Nugent, Crouch, Begovic, Belhadj, A Traore, Pamarot, Mvuemba, Gekas, Kanu, Little, Thomas.
