BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Treble chasing Manchester United take on Portsmouth, looking for a
fourth Premier League win in a row, a ninth in 10 and 18th in 21.
＊ The Red Devils are defending an unbeaten home league record, having
won 11 on the bounce at Old Trafford since being held by Reading in
the opening league fixture at the Theatre of Dreams.
＊ Portsmouth have not beaten a "Big Four" club in six attempts so far
this season.
＊ Harry Redknapp is one of three Premier League managers in a second
spell at their current club, and looking for a 50th Premier League
victory from his two stints in charge at Fratton Park.
＊ This match once again pits the two oldest managers in the Premier
League against each other; Sir Alex Ferguson is 66, Redknapp 60,
just four months older than Fulham's Roy Hodgson.
＊ If he keeps goal as usual, Portsmouth's David James will be making
his 500th Premier League appearance.
＊ Manchester United are defending a 100% home Premier League record

呼～還好Evra沒停賽...
所以是聯賽累積拿五張黃牌，停賽一場，
然後這場停賽可以用在聯賽、足總盃或聯賽盃上阿？！
(我以為是這三項賽事累積五張)
