Match Preview

Portsmouth will be without Richard Hughes for their rematch with Leicester. The midfielder was sent off during the Carling Cup defeat by the Foxes and starts a two-match ban, ruling him out of the npower Championship meeting between the sides as well as next week's visit of Bristol City.

Michael Brown is likely to reclaim his place in the starting line-up in Hughes' absence, while defender Ricardo Rocha, who sat out on Tuesday with a knock, will be checked over.

Strikers Dave Kitson and John Utaka dropped to the bench in midweek and will push for starts.

Defender Hermann Hreidarsson (Achilles), frontman Danny Webber (cruciate) and youngsters Tom Kilbey (knee) and Billy Goddard (shin) are still on the sidelines.

Boss Paulo Sousa faces a welcome selection headache ahead of the clash. The former Swansea manager made eight changes in midweek as the Foxes triumphed on Tuesday.

Goalscorers Michael Morrison and Lloyd Dyer, along with midfielder Andy King, were the only survivors from the side that started the Championship defeat to QPR.

Sousa must decide whether to make wholesale changes once more, or stick with the majority of the players that came in on Tuesday night.

Winger Paul Gallagher could be one of few players to keep his place in the team, with the likes of Matt Oakley, Ritchie Wellens, Matty Fryatt and Martyn Waghorn strong contenders to return to the starting XI.

Conrad Logan will hope to keep his place in goal, but Carl Ikeme is usually recalled following cup matches while Chris Weale is also back in the frame after a shoulder injury.

Match Report

Joy of six for Pompey Portsmouth hauled themselves off the foot of the npower Championship by romping to their first win of the season, a 6-1 success against 10-man Leicester. Boss Steve Cotterill had claimed his side were due to hand out a thrashing to someone - and they proved him right in style. On-loan Stoke winger Liam Lawrence tucked away an early penalty and doubled the lead with a deflected free-kick before half-time. David Nugent grabbed his first league goal of the season in the second half, Dave Kitson also got in on the act with a brace and Michael Brown rounded off the victory as Pompey's luck finally turned for the better. The south-coast club, who remain in administration and still cannot fill their substitutes' bench, have been swimming against the tide all season. But a combination of Michael Morrison's ridiculous handball and referee Keith Hill's harsh decision to send off Portuguese defender Miguel Vitor put them on their way to a much-needed win. Morrison gifted them the lead after just nine minutes when, for reasons best known to himself, he raised his arm as he jumped for Lawrence's corner. Hill pointed to the spot and Lawrence stepped up to send Conrad Logan the wrong way. Leicester tried to hit back immediately and had the ball in the net in the 17th minute, but Andy King was adjudged to be offside when he tucked Lloyd Dyer's pass away. However, Pompey were dominating possession and Lawrence saw an angled shot tipped over by Logan, Michael Brown fired narrowly wide and Aaron Mokoena sent a volley over. And Leicester's evening got worse on the half-hour when Vitor was dismissed for felling Nugent on the edge of the area. While it was a clear foul, their were plenty of other defenders in attendance and Vitor was stunned to see Hill produce the red card. Lawrence rubbed salt in the wounds when he thumped the free-kick past Logan with the help a deflection off Bruno Berner. Carl Dickinson almost scored a memorable goal just after the break with a 30-yard effort from the left touchline which caught Logan off his line but just shaved the crossbar. But moments later Pompey did grab the third when Logan palmed Kitson's shot to the feet of Nugent. The former Burnley striker's initial effort was blocked by Logan but he kept his head to slot in the rebound from a tight angle. And straight from the restart Pompey were four up, Nugent winning the ball back and playing in Kitson to chip over Logan and into the net. Steve Howard bundled in a consolation from a goalmouth scramble, but some more generous defending allowed Kitson to tap in number five. And Brown capped a memorable night with a stunning solo effort in the last minute as some of the gloom finally began to lift around Fratton Park.
