Curbishley set to stick with side

Charlton manager Alan Curbishley has Francis Jeffers available to start against his former club Everton at The Valley tomorrow but looks set to stick to an unchanged side for the clash with the high-riding Merseysiders.

So despite Boxing Day’s disappointing goalless draw at Southampton, which stretched their unbeaten run to four matches, there will be more frustration for Jason Euell.

Graham Stuart may figure at some stage even though he did not even make the substitutes’ bench at St Mary’s. Centre-half Mark Fish is fit again but may still have to wait for his return.

Team (from): Kiely; Young, Fortune, El Karkouri, Hreidarsson, Murphy, Holland, Kishishev, Thomas, Bartlett, Rommedahl, Hughes, Euell, Jeffers, Konchesky, Stuart, Fish, Andersen.
