West Bromwich Albion host Charlton Athletic in a Championship clash at The Hawthorns on 2 September. The hosts have made a solid start with six points from three matches, including impressive victories over Norwich and Burnley, though they suffered a setback against Middlesbrough. Charlton, meanwhile, remain unbeaten after three games and sit top of the table with a perfect record. The visitors have adapted quickly to their new squad following summer changes and have shown they can deliver results in competitive encounters.
Form and Head-to-Head
West Brom began their campaign with wins over Norwich (2-1) and Burnley (3-1) before losing 3-1 to Middlesbrough. Charlton have been flawless, beating Derby (2-1), West Ham (2-1), and Preston (1-0). In their last ten head-to-head meetings across all competitions, West Brom have lost to Charlton only once, suggesting the hosts have a strong historical advantage. However, Charlton's current form and unbeaten start make them formidable opponents despite their mixed record against this particular rival.
