With Leeds deciding that getting as far in the FA is a benefit for them, the Addicks and fellow championship chasers Norwich have decided to catch up the League leaders and turn this into a solid three horse race.
That’s if we win tonight of course.
Leyton Orient and the sky cameras are the visitors to SE7 tonight as Charlton look to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games and go joint top of the league, with only goal difference keeping the Addicks in 3rd place.
The O’s gave Charlton a tough match in August at Brisbane Road as Phil Parkinson’s men came back from 1 – 0 down to win 2 – 1 in a fantastic victory.
Five months later and a much colder night will greet the Addicks faithful at The Valley tonight.
Geraint Williams side currently lie in 19th place and will be looking to go home tonight knowing that they’ve dented Charlton’s promotion chances.
My prediction for tonight’s starting line up is:
GK: Rob Elliot
RB: Frazer Richardson
CB: Miguel Llera
CB: Christian Dailly
LB: Grant Basey
RM: Lloyd Sam
CM: Nicky Bailey ©
CM: Jose Semedo
LM/ SS: Jonjo Shelvey
CF: David Mooney
CF: Deon Burton
Subs: Darren Randolph, Chris Solly, Matt Spring, Scott Wagstaff, Therry Racon, Leon McKenzie, Chris Dickson
Come on you Addicks!
