Predictions: Arsenal vs Charlton Athletic

So after a 1-0 win over Blackburn on monday, Charlton now go on to face the Premiership Champions Arsenal, looking to break their undefeated run at Highbury.

Arsene Wenger was right when he said their is a extra cup to be won this season, the "Beat Arsenal" Cup. Its true the team that does beat Arsenal this season will certainly be famous for a few weeks and it would be nice to see Charlton get that honour, but I cant see it happening.

Last season we drew 1-1 at The Valley and was unlucky at Highbury just losing 2-1, this season could be the same but it will all depend on how we perform and how Arsenal will perform after their draw in europe. I expect the likes of Rommendahl and Euell to be recalled to help boast our chances but it looks like Jeffers may miss his chance to face his former team.

Prediction: 1-0 to Arsenal, the first time im betting against Charlton. At the begaining of the week I was thinking it may be 3-0 to Arsenal but I think we may have a slight advantage not playing away in europe during the week.
