Preview: Southend v Charlton

Tonight is Nicky Bailey's night. The Addicks captain and midfield general is returning to Roots Hall for the first time since leaving Southend.
Shrimpers fans are planning a hot reception for their former idol and it will be interesting to see how Bailey reacts.
Will it be a sending off for the 25-year-old or a last minute winner in front of irate home fans?
For the Addicks, automatic promotion seems to be slipping away and morale is dropping, meaning a win at Southend is imperative.
Top scorer Deon Burton is a doubt with a groin injury, so manager Parkinson will have to decide whether to start with Akpo Sodje or bring back Jonjo Shelvey in the hole.
For those who fancy a last minute trip to the seaside, 250 tickets will be on sale on the door for Charlton fans.
Prediction Southend 1-1 Charlton
Kick off: 7.45pm
