Charlton Athletic v Preston North End team news: One change as Beram Kayal returns to starting line-up

BY LOUIS MENDEZ

Lee Bowyer makes just the one change high-flying Preston visit The Valley on Sunday lunchtime.

Beram Kayal will make just his second start in a Charlton shirt as he replaces Erhun Oztumer in the midfield.

George Lapslie is involved in the first team squad for the first time since the 1-0 win over Brentford towards the end of August as he takes a place on the bench, as does young striker Josh Davison.

Loanee Jonathan Leko returns to the bench after being ineligible to face his parent club West Brom last weekend.

Play-off hero Patrick Bauer returns to The Valley as part of Alex Neil’s Preston side.

Charlton: Phillips, Solly, Lockyer, Pearce, Sarr, Purrington, Pratley, Cullen, Gallagher, Kayal, Bonne. Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Oshilaja, Aneke, Leko, Oztumer, Lapslie, Davison.
