- Frank Lampard made six changes and a formation switch to manage fatigue in a stretched group, naming only eight substitutes with injuries including Victor Torp.
- Kaine Kesler-Hayden started at left wing-back but went off injured, and replacement Miguel Brau was involved in the sequence that led to Charlton's equaliser.
- Haji Wright's goalless run reached 12 matches as Coventry's festive slump continued, allowing Ipswich to cut the lead to eight points.
