JOHN MOUSINHO insists Portsmouth are underdogs in their battle with crisis club Sheffield Wednesday.

Pompey are looking to build on an encouraging derby draw at Southampton by making it four games unbeaten when they host the troubled Owls.

Mousinho warned fans to think again if they expect an easy ride against a side that has taken just one point this season to sit second bottom above neighbours Sheffield United.

The Portsmouth boss is uncomfortable with his side being billed as favourites, and said: “You can take any thoughts of this being an easy match right out of your mind because our opponents have a side littered with very good players.
