That means James Shea is in goal, behind a back four of Jack Stacey, Matty Pearson, Sonny Bradley and Dan Potts, a midfield containing captain Glen Rea, Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Andrew Shinnie and Jorge Grant with James Collins and Elliot Lee up front.

The only changes come on the bench where new signing Kazenga LuaLua appears, along with midfielder Alan McCormack who is fit again after an ankle injury.

The 12th-placed Town have won three and drawn one of their four home matches so far this term, and are taking on a Charlton side who sit sixth at kick-off – just inside the play-off places having won four league games in a row.
