Charlton Athletic have won three on the bounce without conceding and will be eyeing a top half finish when they welcome Lincoln City to The Valley on Saturday.

The Addicks were only seven points clear of the relegation zone at one stage, but nine points from their last nine will see them head into the Imps test full of confidence.

2020/21 League One play-off finalists Lincoln have had an underwhelming season, but have shown their class in patches and if they turn it on, Charlton could have their work cut out..

The Imps are 18th, nine points clear of the bottom four with seven games to go and were victorious, 2-1, in the reverse fixture thanks to a late goal from Regan Poole.

Here, we have taken a look at all of the early team news for the Addicks...

Akin Famewo made his return from illness as a late substitute in the Addicks' 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers last time out.

Johnnie Jackson has named an unchanged side three times in a row and will likely do so again if possible at the weekend, with Ben Purrington slotting into Famewo's usual left centre back role.

Corey Blackett-Taylor has had his ups and downs with injury in his career but is pivotal to how Charlton have been playing in recent weeks, it will be interesting to see how the 24-year-old recovers and handles the physical demands of regular starts between now and the end of the season.

 

 

Jake Forster-Caskey played 90 minutes in the U23 side's 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday and is expected to feature before the end of the season.

The same has been said regarding Chuks Aneke but the former Arsenal man has not seen any U23 action yet.

Ryan Inniss is seemingly out of action for the rest of the season and Nile John may come into the fold at some stage, having not been handed a single senior minute since being loaned to Charlton from Tottenham Hotspur in January.
