Formation conundrum for Harry

Fri 16 May, 10:30 AM


Portsmouth's FA Cup final line-up will depend on whether Harry Redknapp plays 4-4-2 in the absence of Jermain Defoe or reverts to a 4-5-1.Goalkeeper David James (calf) and skipper Sol Campbell (hamstring) are fit to return and Kanu looks certain to lead the attack, possibly with Nigerian compatriot John Utaka on the wing or on-loan Milan Baros as chief support despite no goals for the Czech in 15 appearances.

Another striker, David Nugent, should be fit after a groin strain to join the squad as a likely substitute while Papa Bouba Diop sweats on a midfield place after being left out last week against Fulham.

Portsmouth (from): James; Johnson, Campbell, Distin, Hreidarsson, Diarra, Muntari, Diop, Kranjcar, Utaka, Kanu, Baros, Pedro Mendes, Davis, Nugent, Lauren, Hughes, Pamarot, Ashdown.
