History of the Charlton Athletic v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Charlton Ath. prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 5 of the 21 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Valley was just last season, in August 2007, as the Addicks squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Championship match.
