Charlton Athletic
- Charlton Athletic (17th, 14 points from 11 games) entertain struggling Norwich City (21st, nine points from 11) on Saturday afternoon, in what is likely to be a tough game for the visitors.
- After a solid start to his reign, Nathan Jones has seemingly created a cohesive unit at The Valley.
- They are a well-prepared, scenario-based football team that will attempt to control the ball and the flow of the game when they can.
- Charlton play a 4-2-3-1 system, but their style is measured and pragmatic rather than expansive.
Norwich City
- Philippe Clement took the reins at Norwich City on 18 November 2025 and since then they have been much more cohesive and assertive in their approach.
- They also play a 4-2-3-1, but they press harder in the middle third and they try to play with more pace and purpose, especially in transition.
- They have had some decent results, but Norwich are in a rough patch ahead of this and are coming into this game on the back of five straight defeats.
- Their last three results read - D0, W0, L3 (2-1 away defeat to Swansea City, 1-0 home defeat to Southampton, 1-0 home defeat to Portsmouth).
Key Players
In Tyreece Campbell , who has four goals in eight Championship 2026/2027 appearances , Charlton do have an out-and-out goalscorer that could punish the visitors on Saturday.
