Bent missed Saturday’s 3-1 cup win over Brentford, because of playing for Everton against Millwall in the third round. He will replace Jay Bothroyd, who will be on the substitutes bench despite scoring his fourth goal of the season on Saturday.
This will be Alan Curbishley’s only change to the team, which means Darren Ambrose will miss out on playing against the club that sold him to the Addicks in the summer.
