Managerless Pompey face a testing but mouthwatering FA Cup third round clash at Spurs tomorrow.

Interim head coach Simon Bassey has the task of pulling off a huge shock as his side are roared on by 8,800 travelling fans in the capital.

Pompey are decimated by suspension, players unavailable and injury for the clash – making how they line up even more fascinating than ever.

Here’s how we think they will go at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
