Two of the Premiership’s high-flying sides meet at Fratton Park looking to continue their good start to the season.
Papa Bouba Diop serves a one-match ban and may be replaced by Pedro Mendes or Richard Hughes. But Harry Redknapp has no new injury worries, with Hermann Hreidarsson and David Nugent both hoping to be involved after recovering from injury.
Like Pompey, Man City want to continue their best ever start to a Premier League season. They are without Michael Johnson, who faces groin surgery, but Micah Richards is set to return after a knee injury.
Darius Vassell could start on the left and Joe Hart is likely to keep his place in goal ahead of Andreas Isaksson.
