West Bromwich Albion v Charlton

CHARLTON visit bottom club West Bromwich Albion on Saturday looking to inflict a fourth home defeat of the season on Bryan Robson's side, who have the worst goal difference in the Premier League.

Manager Alan Curbishley's attacking options could be restricted by the loss through injury of Jonatan Johansson and Kevin Lisbie. Johansson limped out of Sunday's south London derby against Crystal Palace in the 17th minute with a hamstring strain. Fellow striker Lisbie sustained the same injury during training last Friday.

Curbishley said: "It's not good news. But it gives others a chance and I thought Franny Jeffers looked sharp when he came on against Palace and he is desperate to play."

Skipper Matt Holland, who suffered lacerations above and beneath his right eye, needed 13 stitches in the wound but is expected to face West Bromwich.
