PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB

Pompey are unchanged for this afternoon's festive clash with Sunderland at Fratton Park.

Kenny Jackett sticks with the same side that drew with Barnsley in their previous encounter a fortnight ago.

However, there is room among the substitutes for a fit-again David Wheeler following his hamstring injury.

Pompey: MacGillivray; N.Thompson, Whatmough, Clarke, Brown; B.Thompson, Naylor; Lowe, Evans (c), Curtis; Hawkins
Subs: Bass, Walkes, Burgess, Close, Wheeler, Green, Pitman
