The Lowdown

Friday's first leg was a typically exciting play-off encounter, from which Town take a narrow 2-1 lead into tonight's showdown in South London.

Second half goals from Charlie Austin and Danny Ward gave the hosts a 2-0 lead, before a Deon Burton header kept The Addicks' hopes alive.

Both managers took the positives from the result ahead of tonight's clash, with both sides quite rightly remaining confident of their chances of reaching the Wembley final on May 29th.

Town have a slim advantage going into the game, and an early goal for either side could be pivotal in the make-up of the tie.

Team News - Swindon Town

Vincent Pericard made a surprise recovery from his heel injury to play a part in Friday's victory, and is likely to start as a substitute again this evening.

Billy Paynter faces a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of the game, having missed out on Friday with a hamstring strain. Should he recover in time, Paynter is likely to replace Alan O'Brien, with Danny Ward moving back to the left side of midfield.

Swindon Town Manager, Danny Wilson:

"It's only a slight advantage, but I'd rather this than it be the other way around.

"It would have been nice to get another goal, but 3-1 might have made us a little complacent.

"We've been away from home this season and scored some good goals to win games, which we've got to do again at Charlton, and everyone's really looking forward to it."

Team News - Charlton Athletic

Defender Sam Sodje was restored to the side on Friday, but was visibly struggling with a recurrent knee problem, so could be replaced by Miguel Llera tonight.

Phil Parkinson has a near full strength squad to choose from, and could be tempted to replace David Mooney with veteran frontman Nicky Forster, who has a habit of scoring again Town.

Charlton Athletic Manager, Phil Parkinson:

"Swindon are favourites because they've got a goal advantage, but it's a game we're relishing, and it will be a full house.

"The tables will turn on Monday and we're looking forward to it."
