Charlton Athletic's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Addicks have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Charlton Ath. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 22 points from their 17 games played so far, West Ham Utd.'s 26 points from 19 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
