John Hartson makes his home debut for Coventry against Charlton in the Premiership clash at Highfield Road.

But the Sky Blues will be without the services of Mustapha Hadji who is on international duty with Morocco. Youssef Chippo, who misses his country's World Cup qualifier because of a one-match international suspension, will come in for Hadji in midfield,.

John Eustace is out after reaching five yellow cards. Centre back Paul Williams returns after serving a one-match ban.

Meanwhile, captain Mark Kinsella and leading scorer Jonatan Johansson return for Charlton.

Both underwent knee operations at the turn of the year and are now ready to resume for the Premiership's seventh-placed side, with Scott Parker and Shaun Bartlett unavailable.

Midfielder Parker serves a one-match ban and South African striker Bartlett is on international duty.

Meanwhile, first-choice keeper Dean Kiely aggravated his groin injury in a midweek reserves match so Sasa Ilic continues to deputise.

Team (from): Hedman, Edworthy, Hall, Williams, Breen, Thompson, Quinn, Carsley, Chippo, Hartson, Bellamy, Kirkland, Shaw, Bothroyd, Aloisi, Telfer, Guerrero, Delorge, Zuniga.
