Recent respective form guides

West Bromwich Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Baggies have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the Addicks have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

West Brom. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 10 points. Charlton Ath.'s 21 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
