Charlton Athletic

Charlton Athletic's full-back positions remain in flux heading into Saturday's visit of Bristol City. Dan McNamara has started three of the last five games at right-back, with Ivan Mesik playing there on the other two occasions, while Mesik and Amari'i Bell have also shared the left-back role. Mesik is expected to start on the left again this weekend, with McNamara continuing on the right.

Jones has used the same 4-2-3-1 shape in all five recent games. Miles Leaburn is again likely to lead the line, while Oliver Skipp and Conor Coventry are expected to retain their places in central midfield.

Bristol City

Luke McNally is closing in on a return from injury. The defender is getting close to selection but still needs careful management after completing more than an hour for the under-21s on Tuesday without injury.

Rob Dickie remains out with the knee injury that kept him sidelined against Watford, having started four of Bristol City's previous five matches. Rob Atkinson took his place in the centre of defence for that game and is expected to retain it after making his first start in this run. Lisav Naif Eissat, a regular before that change, was restricted to a brief appearance at the end of the Watford match.
