TEAM NEWS

The Addicks will be without James Abankwah (Ireland U21s), Karoy Anderson (Jamaica), Michael Hector (Jamaica), Ashley Maynard-Brewer (Australia) and Terell Thomas (St Lucia), who have all linked up with their respective countries.

Harry Isted (knee), Terry Taylor (ankle), Panutche Camará (hamstring) and Chuks Aneke (hamstring) remain sidelined.

THE OPPOSITION

Since forcing a replay, Cray Valley PM have played two fixtures.

Given the first team's progress in the FA Cup and FA Trophy, the Millers fielded their Isthmian U18s side for their London Senior Cup first-round tie at home to Balham, who ran out 4-1 victors.

Steve McKimm’s men earned a 3-0 triumph over Erith & Belvedere in the Isthmian League South East Division last weekend. Freddie Parker opened the scoring on 40 minutes and Kyrell Lisbie bagged a quickfire brace early in the second period.

That result leaves Cray Valley PM sat ninth in the eighth tier, with multiple games in hand on the teams above them.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The initial tie, which was the first ever meeting between the two teams, resulted in a 1-1 draw at The Valley.

Scott Fraser gave Charlton an early lead with a composed finish past Sam Freeman, but Lucas Ness' own goal meant the Addicks had to settle for a replay.

MATCH OFFICIALS

Charles Breakspear will oversee proceedings on Wednesday. The official has taken charge of 13 games to date this season, showing 57 yellow cards and three red cards.

Breakspear will be assisted by David Harrison and Garry Maskell, while Carl Brook is the Fourth Official.

COLOURS

Charlton will be wearing their red home kit at the Artic Stadium.
