Addicks boss Phil Parkinson has promised some changes following last week's collapse to Millwall.

That's no surprise for Charlton fans. Those who saw their side lose 4-0 to the Bermondsey boys it must feel like your neighbour coming round for a barbecue, stealing all the meat and kicking your dog.

On the good side though, the last time a London derby for Charlton ended 4-0 was in 2007 when West Ham were on the wrong end of a beating from the Addicks.

That year, the Hammers stayed up and the Addicks sank. An omen?

For the team news, Kelly Youga played in the reserves this week as he looks to return after four months on the sidelines.

QPR's Gary Borrowdale has been brought in on loan as cover at left-back.

It's likely that Deon Burton will return to the starting line-up, while Jonjo Shelvey is also pushing for a recall.

Kick off: 3pm

Prediction: Charlton 2-1 Gillingham
