History of the Charlton Athletic v Leicester City fixture

Charlton Ath. are ready to welcome Leicester City to The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, winning 60.00% of the games played between the two.

The previous match played between the two at The Valley was within the last three years, in February 2005, with Leicester City inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Addicks in a F.A. Cup match.
