Charlton Ath. prepare to entertain Arsenal at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 4 of the 24 games played, and losing 14.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Valley was just last season, in October 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
