TEAM NEWS

Deadline day signings Gavin Kilkenny and Michael Hector could both feature in Holden’s matchday squad, though Joe Wollacott (finger), Todd Kane (hamstring) and Mandela Egbo (quad) remain sidelined.

Exeter will be without top scorer Jevani Brown owing to a club disciplinary matter and Kyle Taylor (knee), who is a long-term absentee, while goalkeeper Jamal Blackman (hip) will be monitored.

THE OPPOSITION

The Grecians currently sit 10th in Sky Bet League One, five places and four points above the Addicks.

Gary Caldwell’s side have won three of their last five outings – including a 2-0 triumph at MK Dons last time out courtesy of a Jevani Brown brace.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Charlton and Exeter have squared off on 33 previous occasions with the Addicks winning 16, the Grecians 11 and the remaining six clashes resulting in draws. 

The previous encounter came in the reverse fixture at The Valley back in October 2022. The Addicks ran out 4-2 victors in a six-goal thriller thanks to strikes from Miles Leaburn, Chuks Aneke, Jack Payne and an Alex Hartridge own goal.
