Just when things were starting to look up in SE7, cruel fate rears its ugly head.

Last week's demolition of Paul Ince's set of rehoused and generally despised Wombles has been followed by away match - cue evil cackling laughter from the fixtures computer.

Only one thing for it then - Phil Parkinson's men must remaster the art of winning on their travels. Something they have not done since the whipping of John Barnes' woeful Tranmere Rovers back in August.

On Saturday morning, Addicks fans will head to Yeovil - a club whose famous fans include Paddy Ashdown and the homeless one from Skins.

When Charlton last got promotion to the top flight at the turn of the century, the Glovers were stuck in the conference.

However, history counts for nothing and town's recent form has the edge over the Addicks with just one defeat in the last eight.

Team news sees Frazer Richardson out injured, while goalkeeper Rob Elliot is on the verge of returning after a groin strain.

Kick off: 3pm, Saturday
