 Portsmouth look to bounce back from the midweek Carling Cup exit to Blackburn with victory against a shaky Newcastle side.
Abdoulaye Faye has been passed fit after being taken ill at Reading last weekend and is likely to play a part in the game. Meanwhile, Mark Viduka (calf), Damien Duff (ankle) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) are all still out of action.
Harry Redknapp hopes to break into the Premier League’s top six by beating the team placed just below them. And he’s helped with the return of Richard Hughes after suspension.
But Sulley Muntari (hamstring) and Hermann Hreidarsson (groin) are unlikely to make the game and Kanu is already ruled out with a bad knee.
