Two changes for Blackburn
Blackburn manager Mark Hughes made two changes as his side looked for a fifth straight victory at Ewood Park.
Steven Reid started his first game since October 1 with Robbie Savage out with a leg injury, while Hughes preferred Paul Dickov in attack ahead of a benched Shefki Kuqi.
Charlton, protecting a 100% away record this season, had Darren Bent back in the side after the striker missed last week’s 1-0 home defeat to Bolton through illness.
Jay Bothroyd made way and was among the substitutes, with Brian Hughes also recalled ahead of Alexei Smertin who sustained a groin injury against Sam Allardyce’s side.

Charlton: Andersen, Young, Perry, Hreidarsson, Spector, Rommedahl, Ambrose, Kishishev, Murphy, Hughes,Bent. Subs: Holland, Thomas, El Karkouri, Myhre, Bothroyd.
