History of the Charlton Athletic v Sheffield United fixture

Charlton Ath. prepare to entertain Sheffield United at The Valley on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 4 of the 29 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Valley was less than a year ago, in April 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
