History of the Sheffield United v Charlton Athletic fixture

Sheff. Utd. prepare to entertain Charlton Athletic at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Blades are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 4 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Bramall Lane was less than a year ago, in March 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield United have managed to pick up just two wins from their last six home games, losing three, The The Blades's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

The away form of Charlton Ath. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Addicks have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sheff. Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 38 points from their 25 games so far. Charlton Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 25 games have yielded only 19 points.
