Charlton v Aston Villa
The Valley
CHARLTON ATHLETIC are still smarting from the awful refereeing decision, which gave Fulham a last ditch free kick at the Valley on Tuesday night from which they scored to equalise 2-2, and so deny Alan Pardew all three points on his managerial debut for the Addicks. Now they take on an Aston Villa side in the lunchtime kick-off, who lie at the foot of the Premiership's "Last Six Current Form" table and must therefore be short on confidence.
Pardew's new club are one place and two points off the foot of the table, and seven points short of safety. They've lost more matches (13) and dropped more points (47) than any other club in the highest division and are chasing a first victory in five League outings.
DARREN BENT is Charlton's top scorer with nine. He has netted seven in the Premiership, five more than any other club mate.
MARCUS BENT is one shy of 100 club career goals.
ASTON VILLA go to the Valley, winless in eight games and on a three match losing streak. They've drawn 50% of their League matches (10 of 20), and have nosedived from an impressive third place in mid-November, to a position where they're only hanging on to a top half berth by goal difference.
Manager Martin O'Neill was given all the plaudits when his side remained unbeaten for the first 11 League and Cup games in his tenure, but the cold truth is that they've won just five Premiership matches all season, and only one of those has been on the road (0-1 at Everton on 11 November).
Villa won the reverse fixture 2-0 in September, and are vying for a third Premiership 'double' over Charlton and first since 2003-04.
Gareth BARRY is Villa's top scorer, with eight goals - seven in the Premiership.
Gabriel AGBONLAHOR is the only remaining player to have been on the field for every minute of every one of Villa's Premiership fixtures.

BARCLAYS PREMIERSHIP MATCH DETAILS
Blackburn (15) v Middlesbrough (16)
Brad Friedel will continue in goal for Blackburn despite being troubled by a dead leg. He was unable to take goal-kicks during the Boxing Day win over Liverpool.
Middlesbrough welcome back James Morrison (calf) and Abel Xavier (hamstring) to the squad after they missed the Boxing Day draw with Everton. Julio Arca is struggling to prove his fitness after picking up a hip injury in training, while Robert Huth (foot) will be out until the middle of January at the earliest.

Last five league matches: Blackburn L L W L W; Middlesbrough L D L W D

Bolton (4) v Portsmouth (5)
Bolton midfielder Ivan Campo is available in spite of picking up his fifth booking of the season in the Boxing Day win over Newcastle. The seven-day rule allows him to face both Pompey and Liverpool on New Year's Day.
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has no fresh injury worries and looks set to make just one change to the team which won at West Ham on Boxing Day. He will opt for Zimbabwean striker Benjani Mwaruwari instead of top scorer Kanu.
Last season: Portsmouth 1 Bolton 1, Bolton 1 Portsmouth 0
Last five league matches: Bolton L W W W W; Portsmouth D W D W W
Top scorers: Nicolas Anelka (Bolton) 7; Nwankwo Kanu (Portsmouth) 9

Charlton (19) v Aston Villa (10)
Charlton winger Jerome Thomas has been feeling the effects of a recent virus and may not feature against Aston Villa. Midfielder Amdy Faye is struggling to shake off an undisclosed injury, while Darren Ambrose will expect to retain his place following a goal on Wednesday night and Dennis Rommedahl is pressing for a start. Andy Reid (hamstring) and captain Luke Young (knee) are both definitely out.
Chris Sutton will be sidelined for at least six weeks with blurred vision and concussion, while Villa manager Martin O'Neill is hoping defenders Olof Mellberg and Aaron Hughes will have shaken off knee injuries picked up against Tottenham on Boxing Day. But midfielder Stiliyan Petrov is a major doubt after aggravating his hamstring injury at White Hart Lane.

Chelsea (2) v Fulham (12)
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has more defensive worries with Khalid Boulahrouz out through suspension. Captain John Terry (back) and Joe Cole (foot) were already out of contention.
Dutch striker Collins John has been called up by Fulham to replace the suspended Heider Helguson. Fulham are also without midfielder Claus Jensen (groin). Captain Luis Boa Morte returns from injury to replace Jensen on the bench even though he is not yet considered fit enough for a full 90 minutes.

Top scorers: Didier Drogba (Chelsea) 19; Brian McBride (Fulham) 6

Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder will make late checks on goalkeeper Shay Given and stand-in full-back Nolberto Solano. Both men are battling against the groin injuries which kept them out of Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Bolton, and Pavel Srnicek and David Edgar are standing by.
Last season: Newcastle 2 Everton 0, Everton 1 Newcastle 0
Last five league matches: Everton W L L W D; Newcastle W L W W L
Top scorers: Tim Cahill & Andrew Johnson (Everton) 7; Obafemi Martins (Newcastle) 9

Danny Webber, Claude Davis, Michael Tonge and Keith Gillespie have been struck by a virus and manager Neil Warnock will leave it as late as possible to assess the quartet's fitness. Stephen Quinn (fibula) and Derek Geary (thigh) are definitely out.
Arsenal will be without Emmanuel Adebayor after he suffered a thigh injury at Watford on Boxing Day. Brazilian Julio Baptista could be handed a rare start, but defender Johan Djourou (hamstring) and full-back Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) are concerns. Lauren may make a welcome return to the squad following his long-term injury lay-off, but captain Thierry Henry (sciatic nerve), William Gallas (thigh) and Freddie Ljungberg (hamstring) are still sidelined.
Last season: No corresponding fixture
Last five league matches: Sheff Utd W D W L L; Arsenal D W D W W
Top scorers: Rob Hulse (Sheff Utd) 6; Robin Van Persie (Arsenal) 10

Wigan captain Arjan de Zeeuw returns to the side after a toe injury. But manager Paul Jewell is again without striker Henri Camara (knee), winger Lee McCulloch (suspended) and midfielder Paul Scharner (knee surgery) while Ryan Taylor, Antonio Valencia and Steve McMillan are also sidelined.

Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce could be forced to push Micah Richards into midfield. Dietmar Hamann (back) and Claudio Reyna (hamstring) are injured, while Joey Barton starts a three-match ban. Paul Dickov (toe) and Darius Vassell (groin) are both major doubts.
