Recent respective form guides

Manchester City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Addicks have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Man City see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 36 points from their 30 games played so far, Charlton Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 30 points from their 31 games thus far.
