The match was pushed up this weekend and will be the only Premiership clash as most EPL squads are competing in the FA Cup. Pompey are without a manger after Tony Adams was sacked and caretaker Paul Hart will be in control of the side. Mexican national coach Sven-Goren Eriksson has been linked with Portsmouth, but I see him remaining with El Tri at least through the upcoming Hexagonal contest. Mexico hosts Costa Rica next.
City's Shaun Wright-Phillips will miss due to a three-match ban. Elano will likely take SWP's place in the midfield after his impressive showing mid-week in Brazil's 2-0 victory over Italy. It is vital that City continues to push up the table and with away points rare this season, the match at Pompey is the perfect setting for Mark Hughes' men to take three points back to Eastlands.
