MATCH PREVIEW
- As Portsmouth's financial crisis rumbles on, Wayne Rooney and co will be
hoping to cash in on the ongoing turmoil at the south coast club.
- The latest twist in a season of upheaval at Fratton Park came this week with
the news that Hong Kong businessman Balram Chainrai has become their fourth
owner in six months.
- On the pitch, Avram Grant's side remain rooted to the foot of the table
after yet another defeat on Wednesday. They have picked up just one point
from their last five Premier League outings and are five points adrift of
second-from-bottom Burnley.
- Pompey's trip to Old Trafford, just as Manchester United are beginning their
familiar new year challenge for the Premier League title, could not have been
timed any worse.
- Sir Alex Ferguson's side are not only back in the title race, but they
produced a performance against Arsenal which proves they should be taken
seriously. And with Chelsea and the Gunners due to meet on Sunday, the visit
of Pompey hands United an ideal opportunity to reclaim top spot.

Sunday. They went to Arsenal and completely tore them apart. Wayne Rooney is

前瞻：樸茨茅斯
曼聯中文官網 http://tinyurl.com/yg3kqlz
如果在老特拉福德擊敗樸茨茅斯，曼聯將可以升上榜首……
雙方近況：
樸茨茅斯本賽季已經三次更換老闆，場外新聞不斷影響了他們在球場上的發揮，格蘭
特的球隊自從去年10月底以來就沒有獲勝過了。曼聯最近以兩個3-1擊敗曼城和阿森納兩
個勁敵。
傷停情況：
非洲杯結束使得樸茨茅斯有多名大將歸隊，但卡努、迪奧普和邁克爾-布朗仍然缺陣
。曼聯方面可能會派出跟對陣阿森納基本一樣的陣容。費迪南德因為停賽仍然缺陣。維迪
奇的小腿傷勢仍未完全康復，因此布朗和埃文斯很有可能繼續搭檔組成中衛。
焦點球星：
從里昂租借加盟的皮基昂尼在聖誕前曾接連攻陷切爾西和利物浦的大門，這位31歲的
前鋒將成為曼聯主要的威脅。
對方主帥：
格蘭特自從加盟樸茨茅斯後就有大量的工作，他曾在2007/08賽季執教切爾西，不過
他在英超和歐冠都輸給了曼聯。
裁判：
梅森本賽季已經執法過兩場曼聯比賽，他之前執法的比賽，曼聯擊敗了維岡和伯明翰
。本賽季他一共出示過75黃5紅。
競爭對手比賽：
阿森納將作客斯坦福橋激戰切爾西，熱刺在主場迎戰維拉。利物浦將與埃弗頓展開德
比戰，曼城作客胡爾城。
