An exhausting league season for all Portsmouth enthusiasts will be over by 6pm on Sunday after Avram Grant’s team meet an Everton side who can finish no higher or lower than eighth. That will be a place outside next season’s European berths for David Moyes’ men, which can count both as a disappointment and an achievement given their injury problems. Grant’s feat, meanwhile, in taking stricken Portsmouth to next weekend’s FA Cup final is almost miraculous. Injury avoidance may be the visitors’ priority. Jamie Jackson

• South Africa midfielder also fined £1,000 for offence
• Pienaar found to be nearly twice legal limit after breath test

The Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar was today banned from driving for 12 months after pleading guilty to drink-driving, a court official confirmed.

Pienaar was also fined £1,000 for the offence and ordered to pay a further £100 fine for failing to comply with a traffic signal.

The South Africa international was found to be nearly twice the legal limit after he was breath-tested by police in Liverpool. He was originally listed to appear at Liverpool magistrates court today but his decision to plead guilty meant he was dealt with yesterday.

The 27-year-old was pulled over by police in the early hours of Sunday 21
