Pompey make two changes from the midweek win over Birmingham. Lauren comes in for the injured Campbell and fit again Diarra replaces Mendes.
England boss Fabio Capello is in the stands.

00: Villa kick off attacking the Fratton End.
03: Maloney cuts inside and fires at goal but James gathers.
05: Baros breaks clear but is penalised for a foul on Laursen.
08: Bouma pulls down Baros just outside the box.
09: Diarra leaves Reo-Coker for dead and his shot is deflected for a corner, which is cleared.
GOAL! 12: Pompey have the lead with a delightful goal from Jermain Defoe. Johnson's long ball beats Laursen and the front man is on to it like a shot before lifting a lovely lob over Carson, who is in no man's land. That's Defoe's sixth goal - and in front of Fabio Capello too.
17: James does well to push away a dangerous whipped Young free-kick.
18: Baros is bright and burns off two Villa defenders before firing at Carson.
30: Distin has to be alert to see off Carew after a period of Villa pressure.
34: Carew works some space but fires high and wide with Maloney in space on his own.
37: Muntari goes into the book for a lunge on Reo-Coker.
GOAL! 38: Pompey have daylight due to the craziest of own goals from Reo-Coker. Muntari finds an intelligent burst from Defoe, Carson comes to clear, smashes the ball into Reo-Coker and it ricochets into the empty net.
45: James pushes Young's effort around the post.
Half-time: Pompey 2 Villa 0.

46: Pompey restart the game.
50: Villa should be back in it as Maloney squares for Agbonlahor but he somehow misses from a few yards.
52: Pompey are turning on the style. Kranjcar is tackling and showboating, the full-backs are bombing on and the home team are two passes in front of the visitors.
54: Kranjcar ends a period of possession by firing just wide from 20 yards.
57: Harewood replaces Maloney.
58: Knight heads just wide from a corner.
64: Mellberg virtually assaults Kranjcar as his frustration boils over after more quality from the Pompey man. Mellberg is booked.
65: Lauren is booked for a foul on Agbonlahor.
67: Muntari thunders a shot just wide.
70: Muntari unleashes another thunderbolt which Carson just about gathers.
72: Kranjcar should have scored after more positive play from Baros but shoots wide.
73: Harewood sticks the ball in the net but is offside.
75: James keeps out Young's 25 yard free-kick.
78: Salifou replaces Bouma.
81: Muntari is sent off for a second booking after a pull on Salifou.
81: Defoe is given a standing ovation when he is replaced by Utaka.
83: Mellberg is given his marching orders for a foul on Diarra.
Full-time: Pompey 2 Villa 0
