MATCH PREVIEW | Charlton v Peterborough United

Michael Appleton confirmed Harry Isted (knee) is set to feature in this weekend's squad, while Alfie May (back) is 'really close' to a return.

The Head Coach also revealed that new signings Tyreeq Bakinson, Lewis Fiorini and Conor Coventry will all be in his matchday squad, provided the requisite paperwork is complete for Coventry.

Michael Hector (hamstring), Conor McGrandles (calf), Terry Taylor (ankle), Panutche Camará (hamstring), Chuks Aneke (hamstring) and Miles Leaburn (hamstring) remain unavailable for the Addicks.

Goalkeepers Nicholas Bilokapic (knee) and Will Blackmore (hip) are both sidelined for the visitors, who will also be without Jonson Clarke-Harris (calf).

Unbeaten in their last nine league outings, Darren Ferguson’s side currently sit third in the Sky Bet League One standings.

Posh suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Leeds United in the FA Cup third round last weekend.

That was preceded by a thrilling 3-2 triumph at Derby County in League One.

Charlton and Peterborough have gone toe-to-toe on 28 previous occasions, with the Addicks winning nine, Posh 11 and the remaining eight fixtures ending in draws.

Peterborough won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in August 2023 courtesy of Hector Kyprianou's strike on the stroke of half-time.

Sam Purkiss will be the man in the middle on Saturday. The referee has overseen 20 matches so far this season and has shown 96 yellow cards and eight red cards.

Purkiss will be assisted by David Harrison and Joseph Stokes, while Daniel Cook has been appointed as the Fourth Official.
