Leeds host Charlton in Redfearn's first home game as permanent manager.

Leeds United play Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night in the hope they can earn their first victory since September. The Whites defeat at Cardiff on Saturday means they haven't picked up all three points in their last seven games. 

The visit of the Addicks is Neil Redfearn's first home game as permanent manager and he will be hoping to get off to a flying start. The former academy coach was in charge the last time the Whites won a game, when they beat Huddersfield 3-0 at Elland Road. 

The 3-1 defeat to Cardiff on Saturday saw captain Jason Pearce pick up his fifth yellow card of the season and he will therefore miss the Londoners visit. The back four looked particularly shaky at the Cardiff City Stadium as the Whites conceded three very avoidable goals. 

Charlton got off to a blistering start this season but seem to have lost their momentum with just one win in their last five. The Addicks are just three points from the play-offs but they have failed to win or score during their last two away games. 

Igor Vetokele is the sides top scorer and he has bagged seven already this season. The majority of the Angolan/Belgians goals have come away from the Valley but he has found the net just twice in Charlton's last 10 games. 

The London club didn't lose league game until 12 games into the season when they were beaten by highflying Bournemouth. They finished just seven points clear of the drop last season but manager Bob Peeters believes they can stay in contention for a play-off spot. 

Alex Mowatt was by far Leeds' best player against Cardiff and United's fans will be hoping his fine finish will inspire him to be more confident in front of goal. The Whites seemed to lack ideas going forward and will therefore be hoping Adryan and Rudy Austin will be back from recent injuries to offer an outlet going forward.

The last time the sides met Charlton took all three points from Elland Road in a 1-0 victory. The defeat was part of a terrible streak that saw the Whites win just one in nine games from March to April. 

Leeds haven't beaten Charlton at home since October 2000 when Alan Smith and Mark Viduka (2) shared the goals in a 3-1 win. The Addicks haven't lost at Elland Road during their last five visits and will be hoping to make it six.
