Pick of the stats: Charlton Athletic v Norwich City

[BBC] Norwich City will look to keep their hopes for a heroic run to the play-offs alive as they take a trip to Charlton Athletic on Saturday (15:00 GMT). The Canaries saw their promotion aspirations take a hit after their four-match winning streak came to an end with a close 1-0 loss to Southampton on Wednesday, leaving them nine point adrift of the topic six. But the Addicks will make it difficult for their visitors to bounce back, only losing one of their past six league matches (W2 D3) and hoping to extend the distance between themselves and the bottom three to double figures.

Charlton lost in this season's reverse fixture against Norwich (0-1 on Boxing Day 2025) and haven't lost home and away to them in a league campaign since 1971-72. This will be Norwich's first league game at The Valley in over a decade (since February 2015), when they won 2-3 against Guy Luzon's Charlton under the management of Alex Neil. Charlton have won more games by a 1-0 scoreline than any other team in the Championship this season (8), including one in their most recent home game (1-0 v Birmingham).

Norwich have won six of their last 10 league games on a Saturday (D1 L3), after only winning two of their first 12 in the current campaign (D2 L8). Two of Charlie Kelman's three league goals at the Valley have been the only strike in a 1-0 win after coming off the bench, including in the Addicks' most recent one (1-0 v Birmingham) [BBC]
