Both sides go into the Championship clash on the back of late defeats last weekend.
While Nottingham Forest were being beaten by a Paul Caddis penalty for Birmingham City, Noel Hunt snatched a stoppage-time winner for Ipswich to hand Charlton a first home league defeat of the campaign.
Manager Bob Peeters steered clear of the dressing room in the wake of Hunt's goal, saying: 'Normally after the game I go to my players but I didn't today because I would have said some things I would regret on Monday. That's why I stayed away.'
And there is little to choose between the sides in terms of their league positions with both on 28 points and separated by one place due to Forest's superior goal difference.
