Charlton will be hoping to get back to winning ways on home turf as they take one Portsmouth at the Valley on Saturday evening (5:30pm).
The Addicks will look to use their strong home form this season to reel in the fourth-placed visitors who are desperate to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive.
Portsmouth are coming off the back of a thumping 5-1 victory against Bradford City, but that was their first victory in seven league games, while Lee Bowyer's men are aiming for all three points at home following two consecutive draws, with the unbeaten run in SE7 stretching back to early October.
Charlton will be without Jason Pearce after the captain suffered a minor setback in his recovery from his ankle injury, while Lewis Page and Jake Foster-Caskey remain long-term absentees.
After playing for the U23s again on Thursday, Albie Morgan could be back in the squad for the first time since injury halted his run of matches at the turn of the year, while Josh Parker has recovered from a virus that has kept him out of action for the past two games.
For Pompey, Christian Burgess is set for a short spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury, while Omar Bogle, Andy Cannon and Jack Whatmough are all still missing.
Oli Hawkins, Ronan Curtis, Nathan Thompson and Matt Clarke all picked up injuries last weekend, but are expected to return fit at The Valley.

Charlton boss Lee Bowyer: “The place is going to be rocking. I'm looking forward to it and so are the players and you can tell there has been a good atmosphere all week. They are a good side but so are we. They have strengths, we have strengths, they have weaknesses, we have weaknesses, so it's going to be a very good game."
Porstmouth boss Kenny Jackett:" Both sides have a lot to play for – they’re big clubs and promotion is a realistic aim. It’s going to be a great occasion on live television and the fixture is promoting diversity, while I’m sure there will be a fantastic atmosphere."
Saturday’s match will be the 106th meeting between the two sides, making Pompey the Addicks' most played opponent.
