MATCH PREVIEW | Derby County v Charlton

A late call will be made on Miles Leaburn (hip) who has missed the Addicks' last two outings, though Mandela Egbo (quad) and Todd Kane (hamstring) remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, the hosts are expected to be without James Chester (calf) and Max Bird (groin).

The promotion-chasing Rams currently sit fifth in Sky Bet League One having claimed 54 points from their 30 outings to date.

Paul Warne's side came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Lincoln in midweek thanks to Conor Hourihane's 69th-minute effort.

That result was preceded by a 3-2 reverse at seventh-placed Wycombe Wanderers last weekend.

Charlton and Derby have clashed on 88 previous occasions with the Addicks winning 31, the Rams 37 and the remaining 20 encounters resulting in draws.

The last meeting came in the reverse fixture at The Valley back in August 2022, when Corey Blackett-Taylor’s second-half strike earned Charlton a 1-0 victory.

Paul Howard will be the man in the middle this weekend. The official last refereed a Charlton fixture in November 2022 – a 2-1 triumph at home to Brighton & Hove Albion’s U21s in the Papa John’s Trophy.

Howard will be assisted by Daniel Leach and Carl Fitch-Jackson, while Aaron Bannister is the Fourth Official.

The Addicks will be donning their home kit in Derbyshire.

Tickets for Saturday’s clash will be available to purchase from The Valley's Ticket Office until 4pm on Friday, February 17th. Click here to purchase yours.
