Bring on the Swans

Tonight's game against Swansea City is the first meeting in any competition between Charlton and Swansea since the 2008-09 season in the Championship, with the Addicks going unbeaten in both games (W1 D1).

Swansea have won only one of their last 16 away league visits to Charlton (W1 D5 L10), with that last victory coming in May 1980 (2-1). Charlton have only lost one of their last 22 home league games (W16 D5), though it did come against Birmingham last month.

After a run of seven consecutive away defeats in the league, Swansea are unbeaten in their last six on the road (W3 D3). Borja Baston has netted six of Swansea's 13 league goals so far this season, with the Spaniard scoring from just 10 shots on target.

Charlton are now 7th in the table after last night's games. If Charlton beat Swansea tonight, the Addicks will go joint top with Leeds.
