Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams takes on his former club as Portsmouth travel to the Emirates Stadium keen to avoid a fourth straight Premier League defeat.
Portsmouth have lost their last three matches, collecting just four
points from their last five games. A defeat against Arsenal on Sunday
could see them slip into the relegation zone. Adams will be hoping that
his side will manage to upset the odds on Sunday.
Arsenal on the other hand will be searching for their first league
win in four matches. The Gunners have drawn their last three matches
and currently sit fifth in the league table, three points behind fourth
placed Aston Villa.
Emmanuel Adebayor will be back in action for Arsenal after missing
out their 2-2 draw against Aston Villa due to suspension but Johan
Djourou and Gael Clichy are major doubts for the tie.
