Phil Parkinson will be desperate to take all three points from his mentor, Alan Pardew. Charlton’s place in the play-offs is all but secured and they remain just a tantalising two points away from an automatic promotion place.
Pardew will be equally determined to put one over on his former employers so a fascinating contest is in prospect.
