The first selection of a team from Andy King. Jannik Vestergaard missing from the line-up. He is injured. Luke Thomas taking his place, moving Ben Nelson into the centre. The rest is the same as before. Would have hoped for Patson Daka instead of Jordan Ayew, but that difference would have been marginal.Brandon Cover is on the bench, so is Kevon Gray. Both players who have done well for the development team this season. Cover (22) spent last season on loan at Port Vale and Fleetwood, and is a full international with caps for Jamaica.
With the number of injuries at the moment, not a lot of options and also as Andy King said in his press conference, giving those who have been playing a chance to show their worth. That makes sense, let’s hope it will work.
Harry Winks is back in contention as he is also named on the bench. Andy King said that Harry Winks had been training and was part of the group. We can not really understand how a manager can just leave out a quality player, because a falling out, that is bizarre.
Had he been suspended and not involved in training, that is understood, but he has been there all the time and kept himself busy, then to just let game by game go by and just see the rot in front of you, losing your job, because of such a situation, then you need to have a look at yourself in a mirror somewhere.

We are looking forward to the game. One fun fact of today is to see the Charlton line-up with a certain Conor Coady playing from start. Will be nice to see how he copes with the Leicester attacking force.
We will be back with our match report, coming up shortly after the game.
