Charlton Athletic v Watford

Last updated : 20 October 2006 By Gary Holmes

Watford travel to Charlton will virtually a fully fit squad, minus only long term absentee Clarke Carlisle who is still struggling with a thigh problem.

However, manager Aidy Boothroyd may be tempted to shuffle his pack as his side attempt to win for the first time this season, and that may mean a recall for fit again ex-Valley favourite, Chris Powell at the expense of Jordan Stewart.

Another change could see Matthew Spring, a scorer for the Reserves in midweek, return to bolster the midfield in place of Tommy Smith.

Bottom placed Charlton Athletic meanwhile are still without Djimi Traore, but expect Senegal defender, Souleymane Diawara to start and Omar Pouso is also close to a return.

Jerome Thomas, a playing substitute during the Addicks defeat at Fulham on Monday following a broken foot is also pushing for a first team spot.
