History of the Southampton v Charlton Athletic fixture

Charlton Ath. face a trip to Southampton at St. Marys on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 15 out of 23 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
