This will be the fourth time Rovers and Charlton have faced each other this term.

The Addicks ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at The Valley in November.

A month later Rovers returned to south London and knocked a much-changed Charlton team out of the FA Cup.

The two sides drew 1-1 at the Keepmoat Stadium in March. Rovers had two goals controversially ruled out for offside – one deep into stoppage time.
