Joey O’Brien is doubtful with a hamstring injury, otherwise the home side have a clean bill of health.

Diouf’s creativity has been missed and the competition in Bolton’s front line should give even more incentive to perform.

Portsmouth Team News:

Portsmouth have their African contingent back. Here’s to jet lag.

Player to watch: Jermaine Defoe

The £9 million signing will be keen to prove his worth after feeling that he was hard done to at Tottenham.
