TEAM NEWS | Famewo set for debut, while Levitt makes first league appearance

Akin Famewo will make his Charlton debut in Sunday afternoon’s game against Lincoln City in the first match of the Thomas Sandgaard era.

The defender joined on loan from Norwich City on Saturday and will take his place in the heart of the Charlton defence, in doing so becoming the 900th player to play for the Addicks.

Ben Watson, who signed with the Addicks on Friday, following Sandgaard’s takeover, is amongst the substitutes for the game at the LNER Stadium.

There is also a first league appearance for Manchester United loanee Dylan Levitt, who is one of three changes made by Lee Bowyer from the side that played Doncaster last weekend.

Ben Amos starts in goal behind a back four of Charlie Barker, Deji Oshilaja, Famewo and Ben Purrington.

The Addicks could play in a 4-3-3 formation or opt for a 4-4-2. If the latter, Levitt and Darren Pratley may partner in central midfield with Alfie Doughty and Erhun Oztumer operating on the wings behind a front two of Macauley Bonne and Conor Washington.

Watson is joined on the substitutes bench by Ashley Maynard-Brewer, George Lapslie, James Vennings, Jake Forster-Caskey, Jonny Williams and Josh Davison.

Alex Gilbey misses out with an achillies injury, while Jason Pearce and Chuks Aneke remain out. 

Charlton: Amos; Barker, Oshilaja, Famewo, Purrington; Oztumer, Pratley (C), Levitt, Doughty; Washington, Bonne

Substitutes: Maynard-Brewer, Lapslie, Vennings, Watson, Forster-Caskey, Williams, Davison
