Boban Tedić will make his full league debut as we host Exeter City at The Valley this evening.
Chuks Aneke, Ashley Maynard-Brewer and Louie Watson also start as Michael Appleton makes four changes from the team that drew with Shrewsbury Town at the weekend.
Tyreece Campbell and Miles Leaburn moves to the bench while Terry Taylor is missing with the ankle injury that forced him off the pitch on Saturday. Harry Isted is set to miss around six weeks with a knee injury which he picked up and battled through towards the end of his EFL Team of the Week performance on Saturday
It means the Addicks may use the 4-2-3-1 formation played on Saturday with Tennai Watson, Michael Hector, Lloyd Jones and Terell Thomas in a back four in front of Maynard-Brewer.
In that formation Louie Watson would join skipper George Dobson in central midfield behind Tedić, Alfie May and Corey Blackett-Taylor, who will all support central forward Chuks Aneke.
Tyreece Campbell and Leaburn are joined on the bench by Henry Molyneux, Nathan Asiimwe, Lucas Ness, Scott Fraser and Chem Campbell.
Charlton: Maynard-Brewer; T Watson, Hector, Jones, Thomas; L Watson, Dobson (C); Tedić, May, Blackett-Taylor; Aneke
Subs: Molyneux, Asiimwe, Ness, Fraser, C Campbell, T Campbell, Leaburn
Good to see Tedic start a game, and of course be a change to see how Chuks faces up to a start, but a good line up

It could also be a 3-4-1-2 or a 4-4-2. I do like that it's attacking, and I think Leaburn needed a breather, but Chuks from the start is always a risk.
He did play as a 10 for MK Dons and I believe Arsenal as a yoot, and he played there some in the Championship for us. I'm just not sure I trust him to do that for 60 minutes at this stage of his career.
Anyway, cant be there tonight so have bought the stream. Golfie Jnr reminded me after I had paid my tenner that I've never seen us win at home when doing so.
Subs: Woods, Sweeney, Richards, Wildschut, Taylor, Aitchison, Cox
Should have stuck to 20 mins here and there.
Very confusing lineup.
We are cursed.
Playing League one's top goalscorer for the last two seasons out wide, like he ended Saturday would be crazy.....
Madness.
We didnt bring Fraser on for another seven minutes.
Had Isted been sent off for the last man incident, then yeah we'd have been fucked, as that was after the last subs had been made - On the other hand, can understand why he got caught on the ball if he potentially wasn't moving well for that moment, but then that was an even better save when Shrewsbury almost scored with the last kick of the game.
