A victory could lift the Londoners into the top six and to within five points of the Bantams, while also having a game in hand.
Robinson’s first Addicks encounter came against his former club, Milton Keynes Dons, in the Emirates FA Cup second round last Saturday. That ended in a goalless draw – with the replay set to take place on Tuesday night – and Charlton will travel to Yorkshire with a number of bodies left behind the club’s treatment room.
At least five first-teamers, including Ademola Lookman and Morgan Fox, who have fallen ill, will be absent for the weekend clash, though boss Robinson hopes to have numbers back in the coming weeks.
Bradford are sure to provide a stern test. Currently fourth in the League One table, the Bantams have yet to taste defeat at home this season.

In the meantime, though, the squad remains injury hit. Ricky Holmes, Chris Solly and Declan Rudd remain out, while Johnnie Jackson is a doubt. Ahmed Kashi remains sidelined.
On top of that, Ademola Lookman and Morgan Fox have both contracted an illness and will not travel with the squad to Yorkshire.
For Bradford, striker Billy Clarke will be absent with a calf injury. Tony McMahon could make his return to league action, having been absent since August.
Charlton have earned seven victories against the Bantams in the past, while there have also been four draws.
So far this season, he has officiated 18 matches where he has brandished 56 yellow cards and four reds.
Haywood was last in charge of the Addicks earlier this season for our 1-1 draw away at Gillingham. He awarded us two penalties in that match.
He will be supported by linesmen Barry Gordon and Barry Cropp and fourth official Martin Coy.
