The Valley
Saturday, 16 December
Kick-off: 1245 GMT
Charlton 11.01% Liverpool 82.54% Draw 6.45%
Prediction: 1-2 / 0-2
Odds: -1 Liverpool
Charlton (from): Myhre, Young, Hreidarsson, El Karkouri, Diawara, Traore, Kishishev, Reid, Rommedahl, Faye, Hughes, Sam, Hasselbaink, D Bent, Andersen, Fortune, Holland, M Bent.
Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Riise, Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Alonso, Pennant, Fowler, Crouch, Bellamy, Kuyt, Gonzalez, Guthrie, Dudek, Paletta.
Doubts
Charlton are without on-loan keeper Scott Carson as he cannot play against his parent club, so Thomas Myhre plays.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and former Reds defender Djimi Traore are fit and could start, but Radostin Kishishev (calf) and Andy Reid (hamstring) are concerns.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez could be tempted to name an unchanged side, meaning Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt continue their strike partnership.
Bolo Zenden, Mohamed Sissoko and Harry Kewell remain sidelined.

Prediction: 2-0 / 3-0
Odds: -1/1.5 Arsenal

Doubts
Arsenal are without William Gallas (thigh) and Tomas Rosicky (groin/hamstring).
Captain Thierry Henry (hamstring) is unlikely to play again until the new year so Theo Walcott could be handed another run-out.
Portsmouth have midfielder Pedro Mendes back from suspension but Kanu faces a late fitness test on a knee injury.
Andy Cole (Achilles), Lomana LuaLua (thigh) and Benjani Mwaruwari (hamstring) are all out.
