  • Pompey taking cups seriously - James

    With the thought of cup glory often taking second place to a good league performance Portsmouth goalkeeper David James has come out saying that Pompey will be trying to get to the final of the Carling cup.

    Fans are expecting major changes from the team that beat Blackburn on Sunday, however it's still expected to be a strong squad.

    He told The News: "Of course this is a competition Portsmouth can win.

    "We're not afraid of any team in the competition and we consider ourselves to be capable of beating anyone.

    "This season already we have played very well against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United and the only team we didn't play well against was Arsenal.

    "We've got a full squad up here and with limited opportunities to get to finals or into Europe, we have to take this game and the competition very seriously."

  • Harry expected to make sweeping changes for cup game

    Pompey boss Harry Redknapp is expected to make sweeping changes for tonight's Carling Cup game against Championship flyers Burnley. With big name players like Matty Taylor and Pedro Mendes not making the starting line up recently this is seen as their chance to stake a place in the first team again.

    For Pompey fans the big talking point of the squad is the likely inclusion of fans favourite Linvoy Primus, I doubt anyone is writing off his chances of forcing his was back in the team even with the Pompey back 4 looking solid at the moment.

    Redknapp told The News: "These boys are good enough to play. It's not as if they are poor players. So they are going to get their chance to show me what they can do.

    "Pedro Mendes wasn't even on the bench against Blackburn and he's a terrific player.

    "We had two forwards, Matt Taylor and Noe Pamarot on the bench, so we will go to Burnley and give players like that a go.

    "I have brought all the squad north. Everyone who is fit at the club is here."
