Preview: Middlesbrough vs. Charlton Athletic

Charlton can keep their slim hopes of reaching the Championship playoffs alive on Saturday with a win at Middlesbrough.

However, the Addicks, who are five points off sixth-placed Bolton Wanderers, will need other results to go their way if they are to stay in the hunt for promotion.

Victory for Boro would see Tony Mowbray's side move level on points with their opponents.

Merouane Zemmama and Lukas Jutkiewicz both face late fitness tests for the hosts, while Jonathan Woodgate misses out through suspension.

Andy Hughes is expected to remain sidelined for the visitors with a hamstring strain.
