Crawley shared the spoils against Stockport last time out thanks to goals from Adam Campbell, Laurence Maguire and Danilo Orisi. It was a much needed point for the Red Devils following back-to-back defeats against Gillingham (1-0) and Swindon (6-0). Having collected eight points from their opening six fourth tier games, Scott Lindsey’s side are sitting at the 16th spot in the League One table. Crawley’s primary aim would be to avoid relegation at the end of this league season, having only survived by one position and three points last time out.
Charlton, on the other hand, are going through a turbulent period both on and off the field, losing four consecutive league-games, which led to the sacking of head coach Dean Holden last week. Nevertheless, the new caretaker boss Jason Pearce has managed to end the losing streak, getting the better of Fleetwood at the Valley thanks to Alfie May’s brace. The victory helped the Addicks to move four points clear of the drop zone in the third tier table, and they will be hoping to continue their charge up the table across the coming weeks and months.
Crawley Town probable starting lineup: Ashby-Hammond, Wright, Williams, Mukena, Maguire, Darcy, Roles, Henry, Khaleel, Campbell, Lolos
Charlton Athletic probable starting lineup: Maynard-Brewer, Asiimwe, Thomas, Ness, Edun, Taylor, Dobson, Kirk, Kanu, Leaburn, Aneke
