Charlton face a trip to Birmingham City at St. Andrew's on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Addicks will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 3 of the 23 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
