Charlton – Reading preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Charlton vs Reading lineups.
Charlton
Charlton have changed their fortunes since changing managers. The Addicks are undefeated in the 5 games since Michael Appleton took over (W3 D2). Last time around a 2-2 home draw vs Blackpool saw first points being dropped at the Valley under the new management after 3 consecutive home wins before that.
Charlton now gearing up for a London derby that has not seen a draw in any of the last 9 clashes between the teams – 4 wins for Charlton and 5 for Reading.
Starting goalkeeper Isted is out injured and the inexperienced Maynard-Brewer will be starting for now. Charlton’s options in midfield remain seriously restricted too with regulars Taylor and Camara missing from that area due to injuries.
Predicted Lineup:
Maynard-Brewer (GK), T. Watson, Jones, Hector, Thomas, Dobson, L. Watson, Leaburn, Tedic, Blackett-Taylor & May
Reading
Reading’s poor form continued with a 1-2 away loss vs Leyton Orient. The display was very shaky and the motivation looked visibly low. The Royals have now earned just 1 point from their last 4 league games and they lost 6 out of 6 away matches played.
Reading are still up for sale with no buyers found yet. The club’s finances remain in an awful state and this is affecting the morale of the squad as they wait for delayed wages.
Reading continue to be missing some important players due to injuries. Experienced striker Smith has been absent in attack lately and he remains out. Also, the midfield line is depleted with all of Mbengue, Camara and Ejaria still in rehabilitation.
Predicted Lineup:
Button (GK), Bindon, Dean, Abbey, Carson, Vickers, Wing, Savage, Knibbs, Azeez & Kelvin
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Miles Leaburn
Charlton's 19-year-old striker Miles Leaburn is having a breakthrough year and he comes into this match very high on confidence.
Leaburn scored 3 goals in Charlton's last 3 matches. He also contributed 2 assists in the last 2 home games. The young forward simply can't get enough of this right now and he will certainly fancy his chances against the very shaky Reading defence.
