George Jones reports
Although there was a 14-year gap in which the two sides did not face one another between 1996 and 2009, it is more than 20 years since the Addicks last overcame their south London rivals.
Their last win came in the 1995/96 season and Charlton did the double over Millwall that campaign. The victory in South Bermondsey - a 2-0 success - came on a cold night in December and Karl Robinson’s side will be intent on making history repeat itself this evening.
Millwall suffered a 3-0 defeat at Scunthorpe United at the weekend, while the Addicks were beaten 2-0 by Peterborough United. On the road, Charlton have only tasted defeat twice all season and, having performed so well at Bradford City in their last match away from home, they’ll be confident of ending their 20-year hoodoo tonight.

Millwall, meanwhile, will be close to full strength. Byron Webster is rated at 50/50 after an injury, while Shaun Hutchinson and Steve Morison could both come back into the XI. Harry Smith is also available following a bereavement.
In total, the Lions have come out on top 34 times to Charlton’s 11, while there have also been 25 draws between the two clubs.
Millwall beat 10-man Charlton 2-1 in our last meeting. The Addicks, a man light after Chris Solly’s 28th-minute red card, went in front through Alou Diarra’s goal but the home side turn in around late on through strikes from Magaye Gueye and Jos Hooiveld.
So far this season, he has overseen 19 matches where he has brandished 70 yellow cards but no reds. His last game was the east midlands derby between Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
Kavanagh last oversaw the Addicks for our Emirates FA Cup tie at Colchester United in 2015/16.
He will be supported by linesmen Matt Foley and Mark Pottage, and fourth official Keith Stroud.
