Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer has stated that he will not be playing a team full of kids in the FA Cup against West Bromwich Albion, as reported by London News Online.

However, when it is considered how thin his squad currently is due to injuries, the Addicks boss will surely look to make a number of changes to his team.

The challenge for Bowyer is to find a balance between resting enough key players to prevent injuries while also ensuring they can compete against the team who are currently occupy an automatic promotion place.

With that in mind, this is FFC’s predicted XI for the game, which features six changes from the 1-0 loss against Swansea City.

Dillon Phillips stays in goal, as resting him would see Ashley Maynard-Brewer play his first Charlton game outside of his one appearance in the EFL Trophy last season.

Considering how Bowyer can best use his limited options, he may opt to go for three at the back, with Jason Pearce the only one in the backline remaining from the Swansea loss.

Naby Sarr could come in after making a late substitute appearance on Thursday, while Adedeji Oshilaja drops back into the defence from the centre-midfield role he has played four times this season.

Chris Solly has made 12 league starts this season and he could add an FA Cup one to that, coming in to replace Adam Matthews.

There isn’t much scope for Bowyer to change things in the middle. Resting Conor Gallagher will likely be a priority for him, considering he has made 24 Championship starts this term, so he could opt to keep Ben Dempsey and Albie Morgan in the lineup.

Joe Ledley is the only midfielder to come into the team from Thursday’s loss, which would see him make his second start since signing for the Addicks.

Josh Davison put in a good shift against Swansea, winning six aerial duels while showing plenty of grit and determination throughout, and he could get another chance to impress Bowyer against the Baggies.

Charlton don’t have many attacking options following injuries to Lyle Taylor, Macauley Bonne and Jonathan Leko, so this could be a good opportunity to get Andre Green into the side.
