Team news from tonights top of the table clash between Leicester City and Portsmouth.

Nationwide League Division One

Leicester v Pompey at The Walkers Stadium ko (20-00 SKY)

It's been billed as a title decider and nobody will count out that , both teams are destined for Premiership football this season without a hiccup like Wolves last season they can forget trips to Grimsby and Walsall and enjoy trips to Man Utd and Arsenal instead.

The last time these clubs met was back in November with Leicester running out 2-0 winners in conditions better suited to a duck, but tonights will be far from that and it will be played on a silky smooth pitch.

Leicester team news for tonight and a major headache still for Mickey Adams he is still without Brian Deane who is stil suffering with a fractured cheekbone and the Andy Impey joins Deane on the sidelines he has been ruled out with a groin strain.

If Leicester beat Pompey tonight Adams team leapfrogs Harry Redknapps Pompey into top spot so it's gonna be a rip roaring afair tonight guarnteed.

Portsmouth have been boosted by the returns of Arjan De Zeeuw and Gianluca Festa the defensive kingpins have been out of action since January and both came through a reserve game last week unscathed and passed fit by club doctors.

Steve Stone is the only player missing from the starting line up for Pompey he is out due to a recurrence of an old hamstring injury.

Tonights action at The Walkers Stadium kicks off at 8pm live on SKY - the match report will be online shortly after fulltime.
