Portsmouth have a number of injury concerns ahead of the visit of Steve Bruce's underperforming Sunderland side.
Pompey midfielder Kevin Prince-Boateng suffered an ankle injury at the weekend and is rated very doubtful, as is right back Anthony Vanden Borre, who picked up an injury during the same match.
Angelos Basinas could come in to replace Prince-Boateng, while Steven Finnan could move to right back as cover for Vanden Borre.
John Utaka is back after hamstring troubles and could start upfront for Portsmouth.
Sunderland are without youngster Jordan Henderson, who was injured during Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Wigan. His place is likely to be taken by Bolo Zenden.
Also still sidelined are the trio of Kieran Richardson, John Mensah and Anton Ferdinand.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is set to persist with the attacking duo of Kenwyne Jones and Darren Bent, although loan signing Benjani is pushing for a first start at his new club.
