Any Previous? - Latics v Charlton Athletic

The two clubs have met 15 times down the years, things are pretty tight between the Latics and the Addicks with six wins apiece and three draws.

 

The first meeting came in the Premier League, back in August 2005 when we met at the Valley in the 2^nd game of our inaugural season in the top flight. That ended 1-0 in favour of the Addicks, Darren Bent scoring the only goal of the game shortly before half-time.

 

We gained a little revenge in the reverse fixture in December 2005, following three extremely tough away games at Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, we lost the lot, the Latics dusted themselves down and turned in a scintillating performance with Henri Camara grabbing our first Premier League hat-trick as we ran out 3:0 winners.

 

Of the seven games played between the clubs at The DW Stadium, Latics have won four, drawn one and lost two, our last home win coming on the 21^st September 2019 in the Championship, two goals from Chey Dunkley securing the points, Latics team that day:

Marshall; Byrne, Dunkley, Mulgrew, Robinson; Morsy, Williams, Massey, Lowe, Jacobs, Moore.

 

Last season Charlton did the double over the Latics, winning both games 1:0, following our win at the Valley in August we have a chance to complete the double this time round.

 

Highlights - Latics 2:0 Charlton
