Relegation still seems very much on the cards for the Addicks, but will they go out with a fight or a whimper?

Charlton fans will find out this Easter weekend with a tough home clash against Birmingham City closely followed by the journey to Coventry City.

Saturday sees the return of Marcus Bent to The Valley turf, along with former loanee Hameur Bouazza.

Former Addicks Djimi Traore and Lee Bowyer could also be playing for Brum.

For Charlton there are no new injury problems and the team is likely to be similar to the one which beat Southampton last weekend, with a five man midfield supporting lone striker Tresor Kandol.

On Monday, the team head to the Ricoh Stadium to play Coventry City, currently looking safe in 14th position, under the management of Chris Coleman.

Charlton players pushing for involvement in the weekend's action are youngsters Chris Solly and Harry Arter, both of who impressed for the reserves in a 5-0 midweek win against Southampton.
