Charlton will be
without Luke Young after he sustained an ankle injury during last
weekend's 0-0 draw at West Ham.
Mikel Arteta who
has spent three weeks recovering from a jarred nerve in his back and
could only manage a brief second-half appearance as a substitute in last
weekend's home draw against Sunderland, could start for Everton. Nuno
Valente is still out with a muscle strain.
Just 1 place and 1
point separate these 2 teams, 10th place Everton on 43 points while 11th
place Charlton on 42, still having an outside chance to clinch a
European spot, though only mathematically. Apart from the 3-0 reverse at
Arsenal, Charlton seem to have overcame their usual end of the season
slump managed 2 wins and 4 draws from last 7 league outings. Everton
come into this match at the back of a disappointing 2-2 home draw
against rock-bottom Sunderland just after a 3-1 derby defeat away
against Liverpool. Charlton last home defeat was the 0-1 reverse to
Arsenal on 26th December last year and have since managed 5 wins and 3
draws are the favourites here on a - 1/4 ball handicap. But they'll have
a FA Cup quarter-final replay tie coming up next Wednesday against
Middlesbrough makes this a no bet match.
