History of the Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic fixture

Charlton Ath. face a trip to Birmingham City at St. Andrew's on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Addicks will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 4 of the 25 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2003, with Charlton Ath. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Blues in a Premiership match.
