Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp admits he's unhappy with their Premiership start.

August 16 sees a trip to Chelsea on the opening day of the season followed by Manchester United at home seven days later.

Redknapp said: "It's not an ideal start for us - it's unbelievable, really. I've always said you want to play the big teams later on. It was a bit like that last year and it seems to happen to us every year - it's not great.

"But there aren't too many easy games in the Premier League these days. You've got to play the big teams at some stage and we just have to get on with it and see how we go."
