Oxford United v Charlton team line-ups: Addicks unchanged as boss Bowyer keeps the faith
Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer has named an unchanged side for today’s League One match at Oxford United.
The Addicks boss keeps faith with the playing personnel that ground out a 1-0 victory at Wigan Athletic on Tuesday.
Bowyer had made seven changes for the midweek trip to the DW Stadium.
Top-scorer Chuks Aneke came off with a tight hamstring in that match but is fit enough to lead the Charlton attack.
Jake Forster-Caskey makes his 100th appearance for the SE7 outfit.
Darren Pratley is unavailable as the experienced midfielder completes his two-match suspension.
Only Lincoln City (33) have collected more points on the road than Charlton (31) this season.
The Addicks are four unbeaten on the road – three of those wins – since a 2-1 loss at Peterborough on January 19.
Oxford have taken three points from a possible 12, although their only reverse in that period came at the hands of Portsmouth.
Seven straight victories between mid-December and the end of January pulled them back into the play-off picture.
Oxford: Stevens, Forde, Gorrin, Moore, Ruffels, Shodipo, Atkinson, Brannagan, Kelly, Agyei, Hanson. Subs: Eastwood, Hall, Taylor, Sykes, Grayson, Barker, Chambers-Parillon.
Charlton: Amos, Matthews, Famewo, Pearce, Maatsen, Forster-Caskey, Watson, Smith, Washington, Millar, Aneke. Subs: Harness, Gunter, Oshilaja, Jaiyesimi, Stockley, Shinnie, Schwartz.
