espnstar.com brings you all the latest team news as Portsmouth play Tottenham and Wigan entertain Manchester City.

Portsmouth vs Tottenham Hotspur

Key midfielder Lassana Diarra could return to the Portsmouth side at home to Tottenham on Sunday after discovering the knee injury sustained in last Sunday's 6-0 humbling at Manchester City has not damaged ligaments.

Diarra has trained since missing the midweek Carling Cup defeat by Chelsea but Sean Davis (groin) and Papa Bouba Diop (hamstring) are still out along with Jerome Thomas (back) and long-term absentee Niko Kranjcar (ankle) as Pompey face a midfield puzzle. Richard Hughes is likely to keep his place.

Skipper Sol Campbell and main striker Jermain Defoe are back to face their old club after being rested against Chelsea and manager Harry Redknapp looks set to play 4-4-2 with on-loan Armand Traore also recalled.

Tottenham will make a late decision on Gareth Bale's foot injury ahead of the clash.

Midfielder Luka Modric has recovered from a knee injury and is fit to play at Fratton Park, and Michael Dawson is also back in full training after a knock.
