Bristol City welcome defending FA Cup holders Portsmouth to Ashton Gate later tonight in this FA Cup replay, which can be seen Live on Setanta Sports.

The first match ended 0-0 at fratton park and now Bristol City will believe they have a real chance to progress through to the next round of the tournament with home advantage.

There was also more good news for Bristol City fans when it was announced that defender Jamie McCombe will be available after recovering from stomach and pelvic injuries. Top scorer Nicky Maynard should also return after missing the first encounter at Pompey with a calf problem.

Portsmouth have not won a domestic game since November and have it all to do later tonight at Ashton Gate where the atmosphere will be very anti portsmouth indeed. Manager Tony Adams has a number of casualties going into this game and will be without Sean Davis, Papa Bouba Diop and Richard Hughes.

Peter Crouch will start as the lone striker, although Kanu could feature in a withdrawn role behind the England international. A home tie against Swansea or non-league Histon awaits the winners in the fourth round.
