History of the Charlton Athletic v Swansea City fixture

Charlton Ath. play host to Swansea City at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Addicks are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 20 games.

The last time the two teams met at Charlton Ath. was amazingly over twenty years ago, in October 1983, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Second Division match.
