Charlton Athletic picked up their first win of the League One in a 1-0 triumph over Derby County at The Valley on Saturday.

The Addicks did rely on some poor finishing from the Rams in the first half in particular, with Jason Knight missing a golden opportunity to level proceedings in the second half, but the hosts came on strong in the second half on the whole and Corey Blackett-Taylor finished off a very well-worked move to clinch the three points.

Queens Park Rangers are tough opposition in the Carabao Cup first round and were boosted by an impressive 3-2 win over Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Both sides will likely rotate with the league a priority, as they prepare for this London derby.

Here, we are predicting seven changes from the line-up that faced the Rams to walk out under the lights...

The six players that may take priority to be rested ahead of the weekend's trip to Sheffield Wednesday are: Steven Sessegnon, Ryan Inniss, Albie Morgan, Scott Fraser, Jayden Stockley and Blackett-Taylor.

Conor McGrandles suffered a concussion against Derby and is likely to be unavailable, while Chuks Aneke and Mandela Egbo remain sidelined from injuries they picked up in pre-season.

Lucas Ness, Aaron Henry and Daniel Kanu could push for some involvement from the club's U23 squad to give Ben Garner some more options.

 

 

Miles Leaburn could earn his first competitive start for the club, having impressed in pre-season and two substitute appearances so far, with Jack Payne also set for a full debut from the start.
