Blews preview

Charlton travel to the Millwall of the Midlands tomorrow with a thousand fans already having bought tickets as they hope to see the Addicks claim their third straight victory on the road. It will be Alan Curbishley's 600th appearance in charge of the Addicks (including the partnership with Steve Gritt).

Sorondo is available after his period of suspension and El Karkouri is back from injury, but Curbs is known for his conservatism when it comes to team selection and is likely to stick to a winning formula. If Chris Perry, in search of a new contract, does start it will be his 50th appearance for the Addicks. Bryan Hughes may appear from the bench against his former club.

Blews are looking for their first home point of the season and are hoping to beat Charlton for the first time at St.Andrews in the Premiership. Blews have conceded seven league goals this season with only the Baggies letting in more, but keeper Taylor looked impressive for N. Ireland during the week. But Charlton will give him a tougher test than the lacklustre England side (Luke Young excepted, although he had difficulties with the scheme of passing to Beckham so that he could spray 50 yard balls).

Charlton are looking for four wins on the spin for the first time since February 2003, when five successive Premiership victories were recorded. The Addicks are also looking to keep three clean sheets on the bounce for the first time since February 1999 when they went four matches in a row without conceding.

We are forecasting a 2-2 draw. See you there!
