Away win required

The following isn't what Powell said ahead of Everton's visit.

For Charlton fans the second half of the season has been one in which they are yet to see their team beat Premiership opposition at home.

While all went to plan at Anfield and Stamford Bridge – taking a well earned point from both, the same tactics were deployed at Highbury and White Hart Lane where it all went wrong on most counts.

If the Addicks can get past Middlesbrough in their FA Cup sixth round replay on Wednesday, will a neutral venue in the last four be better suited?

While Charlton's last victory on home turf was on New Years Eve, it was against West Ham, who stand in the way of either Charlton or ‘Boro reaching the final, and with it European football for the new season.

Alan Curbishley's side hasn't won away from home since the third round of the FA Cup, and haven't taken all three points home with them in the league since October.
