Charlton – Swansea

Charlton, sitting seventh with 12 points after three wins, three draws and a single loss, will host Swansea, who occupy third place with 14 points from four victories, two draws and one defeat. The home side have scored six and conceded seven this season, while Swansea enjoy a healthy +6 goal difference, having netted 11 and allowed just five. The clash pits Charlton’s modest defensive record against Swansea’s more balanced attack, and a win for the visitors could tighten the race at the top, whereas a victory for Charlton would see them surge into the top six for the first time this campaign. Their head‑to‑head history adds extra intrigue, with both teams eager to prove the better side on Charlton’s turf.
