Six changes for Saints

Charlton manager Phil Parkinson has made six changes ahead of the club's Johnstone's Paint Trophy area quarter final at Southampton this evening.

Following the club's harrowing FA Cup exit at Northwich Victoria on Sunday, there is a first start in Addicks colours for striker David Mooney, on loan from Reading until January.

A second loan signing, Carl Ikeme, returns in goal, and there are changes at the back as Kelly Youga switches to right-back, Grant Basey comes in on the left and Miguel Llera partners Christian Dailly in the centre of defence.

Lloyd Sam switches to the left flank to accommodate youngster Scott Wagstaff wide on the right and Matt Spring comes into the central midfield unit.

The match marks Parkinson's 50th at the Addicks helm and in a quirky twist of fate the man in the opposite dug-out is the man he replaced in charge of Charlton, Alan Pardew.

Still smarting from the shock FA Cup defeat at The Victoria Ground on Sunday, Parkinson will be looking for an improved performance from his side at St Mary's. Mooney, who has jumped off the bench three times since joining the club, gets his chance to impress up front and teenager Jonjo Shelvey, who scored at Southampton in a 3-2 Championship win late last season, will support from midfield. With an eye on the key League One match against Milton Keynes at The Valley on Saturday, Frazer Richardson and Sam Sodje are not risked defensively. Ikeme replaces Darren Randolph between the posts while Elliot Omozusi also makes way from the backline. With Basey coming in on the left, Youga, who is the only Addick to start every game this season, moves across to the right, a position he occupied for much of his loan spell at Scunthorpe United a couple of seasons ago. Spaniard Llera is back alongside former Saint Dailly in central defence, while skipper Nicky Bailey takes a breather from midfield as Parkinson makes more changes. Therry Racon is also absent as Spring partners Jose Semedo in central midfield with Sam and Wagstaff supplying the width. Randolph is joined on the bench by Omozusi and strikers Leon McKenzie and Deon Burton, And the reserves are completed by winger Luke Holden, on loan from Welsh side Rhyl, and a player who has featured in the Champions League for his parent club this season.

The Saints make just one change from their Friday night win against Bristol Rovers with Bartosz Bialkowski replacing Kelvin Davis between the posts.

Winger Adam Lallana netted for the Saints in the 1-1 League One draw between the two sides at The Valley in September.

Unbeaten in seven games as Pardew has put is side into positive equity in the league, the Saints also boast the formidable striking talent of Rickie Lambert up front. Hereford United, Norwich City and MK Dons all reached the area semi-finals last night and Charlton will hope to join them in Saturday morning's draw.
