Iain Dowie's first game in charge of Hull City has already split his family down the middle.

Today he takes Hull to Portsmouth, the club his in-laws support.

Dowie, 45, said: "My wife, Debbie, was born in Portsmouth, and her family are all from down there. My brother-in-law Lee is a Pompey fan.

"I am aware of all that. I think the missus will be onside - but maybe there will be divided loyalties in the rest of her family."
