Portsmouth forward John Utaka is determined his side can cut through the gloom enveloping the south-coast club by booking another Wembley date with victory in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Birmingham.

The Nigerian set up the winner for Kanu in Pompey's FA Cup triumph of two years ago and has his sights set on more Wembley glory this season.

A lot of murky water has passed under the bridge since that famous win over Cardiff, however, with Portsmouth now in administration and facing almost certain relegation from the Barclays Premier League after a sustained period of financial mismanagement at the club.

Portsmouth's long-suffering fans have been forced to endure much in recent times, but Utaka is optimistic he and his team-mates can deliver some cheer before the season's end.

"We won at Wembley before and we're determined to go back there again,'' Utaka told the club's official website. "Winning the FA Cup was a fantastic achievement for us and we will try to repeat that this season.

"We're ready for anyone. Birmingham are a good side who have done very well this season. It will be a tough game - it always is in the FA Cup. It doesn't matter who you play, you're always going to be tested.''
