Southend are formidable foes at Roots Hall. Bradford are the only team to take all three points from the Shrimpers on their own patch so far this season.
Karl Robinson has the additional handicap of a lengthy injury list, as he attempts to inflict a second successive home defeat on Phil Brown’s side.
The match gives Robinson an early oppprtunity to put the disappointment of Saturday behind him.
The manager has said he will have three of his injured players back for this game, but did not name them.
Ahmed Kashi will be one, and Ricky Holmes looks likely to be another. Identifying the third one is harder, but it could be Chris Solly.
Charlton could look something like this:
Amos; Solly, Konsa, Sarr, Dasilva; Kashi, Aribo, Marshall, Reeves, Holmes; Magennis.
Subs: Phillips, Dijksteel, Lennon, Jackson, Ahearne-Grant, Dodoo, Hackett-Fairchild.
The referee will be Graham Horwood from Bedfordshire.
The Addicks will be backed by over 1,200 fans, and will expect to take something from the game.
