PAPA BOUBA Diop is sweating on his place in Pompey's FA Cup final midfield.
The giant Senegal midfielder is under pressure for his spot in the engine room as Harry Redknapp mulls over his tactical options, with Pedro Mendes and Sean Davis both pushing hard for selection if the Blues boss plumps, as expected, for a 4-5-1 formation.
With David James and Sol Campbell both recovered from injury, Redknapp will announce the team at a briefing to the players tomorrow morning.
But barring any late injury scares, just one place is realistically up for grabs in the line-up.
Earlier this week, Redknapp hinted he is set to revert to the 4-5-1 formation that has served the team so well away from home, which would see Kanu start as the sole striker.
