Scunthorpe’s defeat by Fleetwood on Saturday saw the two sides change positions.
Fleetwood are now in an automatic spot with the Iron in third place.
Graham Alexander’s team are going through a sticky patch at the moment, and have only taken three points from their last seven matches.
The Addicks’ poor form continued at Northampton on Saturday, and their winless run now stands at eight matches.
Scunthorpe’s front two of Paddy Madden and Kevin van Veen will be a handful for Karl Robinson’s defence, if Charlton can keep them quiet, they will fancy their chances.
Chris Solly has now completed his three match suspension and is available again. Patrick Bauer had to be replaced on Saturday after being sick at half-time, so must be a doubt for the game.
Frederik Ulvestad started, and Adam Chicksen came off the bench at Northampton, so they will increase Robinson’s options for this game.
Robinson could field this team:
Rudd; Solly, Teixeira, Konsa, Chicksen; Byrne, Crofts, Ulvestad, Holmes; Magennis, Novak.
Subs: Phillips, Dasilva, Jackson, Botaka, Aribo, Watt, Ahearne-Grant.
The referee will be Northamptonshire’s Dean Whitestone.
The Addicks desperately need a win, and with a tough schedule coming up, this game may represent their best chance of getting three points.
