Recent respective form guides

Charlton Athletic's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Addicks have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Man City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.

Charlton Ath. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 19 points from their 13 games played so far, Man City's 21 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.
