The Addicks v The Canaries


The Addicks return to the Valley, where they are unbeaten, on Tuesday with a tough match against the Canaries, but a match that we should be looking to win nevertheless.

The Addicks Team News:

Chris Iwelumo and Svetoslav Todorov have been passed fit by Alan Pardew, so should continue their partnership but Luke Varney and Izale McLeod wait to fill in if needed. Addicks captain Andy Reid and defender Madjid Bougherra are both available.
Yassin Moutaouakil, Ben Thatcher and midfielder Matt Holland are close to fitness but are unlikely to feature.

Player to watch: Andy Reid

The Addicks captain made his return to the team as a substitute at the weekend and is expected to return to the starting line up on Tuesday.

The Canaries Team News:

Captain Jason Shackell returns, and the Canaries have not other new injury worries.
But Peter Grant will have to decide whether to stick with Chris Brown up front or bring in David Strihavka.

Player to watch: Jamie Cureton

The striker has been around the block a few times, but has scored goals wherever he has been so he will be the one to look out for.
