Man. Utd. prepare to entertain Portsmouth at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Red Devils are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 7 of the 35 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Old Trafford was just last season, in January 2007, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
