Powell to keep watch on Pennant

Veteran Charlton defender Chris Powell plans to give Birmingham winger Jermaine Pennant a run for his money should the pair go head-to-head again at The Valley this weekend.

Points will be a necessity for both out-of-form teams on Saturday, with the Blues scrapping for their survival and the Addicks looking for what would be only a third win in 11 Barclays Premiership matches.
