So one hard game to the next we now are playing 2nd placed Scunthorpe at home which should be a very hard fixture for us to overcome, but saying that we won against them in the last game we played which was a 3-1 victory at home in the FA Cup back in November as Lookman provided two goals and Jackson scored the 3rd in which was a great team victory for the Addicks.

In team news Charlton have very limited options in defence as Bauer, Teixeira and Lennon are all out injured or suspended and also the high profile injury Josh Magennis will also be watching this one from the sidelines.

In terms of our history together we come out on top against them but only just as we have won 6 and they have won 5 also drawing 10 times between us, our first meeting came in 1958 which ended in a 3-3 draw, since then there have been some cracking games between us such as a 5-2 win, 6-1 loss (which I`m not happy about) and another 3-3 draw in 1962.

My prediction for this game will be 2-2 I can see scoring some goals in this one looking back on the previous fixture against Scunthorpe but I think us coming out with 3 points is going to be tricky seeing as they are unbeaten in their last 3 league games winning the last 2 league fixtures against Northampton and Bury.

I will be at there with 5 of my friends sitting in J block in the famous covered end, I hope to see many of your there and let`s support the team!

COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!
