Pick of the stats: Sheff Wed v Charlton Athletic
- Published
Charlton Athletic will aim to take a major step towards securing Championship survival when they visit already relegated Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday (kick-off 15:00 BST).
The Addicks are five points clear of the drop zone with four games remaining but are without a win in their past five matches (D2 L3).
After picking up just one point in 17 league games, the Owls have drawn their past two and are within four points of avoiding finishing the season on a minus total.
Sheffield Wednesday have won their previous four home league games against Charlton, keeping a clean sheet each time. Only against Grimsby between 1950 and 1979 have they won five in a row without conceding.
Following their 2-1 win in October, Charlton are looking to complete the league double over Sheffield Wednesday for the first time since 1953-54 in the top-flight.
Sheffield Wednesday kept their first league clean sheet of 2026 last time out, holding leaders Coventry to a goalless draw. They last kept back-to-back clean sheets in the same Championship campaign in their final two games of 2023-24 (2).
Charlton are unbeaten in their past six away games in the Championship (W2 D4), despite the Addicks averaging just 39% possession across those six matches.
Sheffield Wednesday's Jamal Lowe has scored in both of his previous league games against Charlton, netting at The Valley in July 2020 (for Wigan) and in this season's reverse fixture for the Owls (October 2025).
