Lee Bowyer has made four changes to the starting XI that beat Portsmouth for tonight’s game at home to Burton Albion.
Ben Reeves and Tariqe Fosu replace the injured Krystian Bielik and Jonny Williams, while Chris Solly and Josh Parker return to the side as Anfernee Dijksteel and Igor Vetokele move to the bench.
There is also a place on the bench for Jason Pearce after a spell on the sidelines.
The Addicks are expected to play their preferred diamond formation with Dillon Phillips in goal and a back four of Solly, Patrick Bauer, Naby Sarr and today’s programme cover star Ben Purrington.
Josh Cullen is likely to anchor the midfield after an impressive performance in that win over Pompey. Reeves and Joe Aribo will play in front of him with Fosu behind Parker and Saturday’s goal hero Lyle Taylor.
I hope many of you will be watching SSN tomorrow morning at 6am as they will be showing all the goals from tonight's EFL games. It will mean we have scored and won or else why would you watch it?
Best team available in my opinion, bearing in mind Igor is not fit enough for starting 2 games in 4 days at the moment. Big chance for Parker, I hope he looks better than his last first team appearance.
I have to say, I do fear an anti-climax after Saturday's bostin' performance. I have a nasty feel we'll go behind, have all of the ball but struggle to break down their massed ranks defence, eventually equalise from a set piece, and then concede a late sucker punch punch when chasing the winner.

Big opportunity for Fosu to regain a place in the starting eleven now that Williams is injured.
10 games to go would the perfect time to regain your form.

Charlton: Phillips; Solly (C), Bauer, Sarr, Purrington; Cullen, Reeves, Aribo, Fosu; Taylor, Parker
Substitutes: Maxwell, Dijksteel, Pearce, Pratley, Lapslie, Marshall, Vetokele
Tonight we need 3 points. Let's hope the lads play as well as they did on Saturday.
And BTW Mr Bowyer ..... we're well overdue to score a sackful, as you keep promising.
Pull your finger out son - and make it happen!
;o)
He's been around forever that bloke!!
0-0 or 0-1.
Hope I'm wrong.
Youuuu reds.
Can't believe he's not starting after that. Josh Parker must be really special.
