This Week's Opposition: Charlton Athletic

We provide you with all you need to know about The Addicks.

Pompey’s 6th match of the Championship season takes them to The Valley to take on Charlton Athletic.

MANAGER

The Addicks remain managed by former Luton Town and Southampton boss Nathan Jones, who took to the helm in February 2024.

The 53-year-old Welshman has picked up 54 wins from 130 competitive games in charge of the club and helped them to promotion from League One via the Play-Offs last year.

ONE TO WATCH

Pacey forward Miles Leaburn should almost always be considered a possible threat.

The 22-year-old wears the number 11 shirt and is yet to find the back of the net this season - He’ll undoubtedly be more keen as each goalless game goes on to finally break that duct.

TOP SCORER

22-year-old Tyreece Campbell, son of the late legendary English striker Kevin Campbell, is currently leading the way in front of goal for Charlton having scored 4 goals in total so far this season - 3 of those have come in the Championship and the other 1 in the Carabao Cup.

The England-born Jamaican international wears the number 7 shirt at The Valley and can play either up front or on the wing.

Campbell joined Charlton at the age of 9 and signed his first pro deal in July 2021 - He has blanked in his last 2 appearances, during such time his club have also failed to find the back of the net.

CURRENT FORM

The Addicks are 5th in the Championship having picked up 11 points from their opening 6 games.

Nathan Jones’ side started the campaign with 3 straight league wins over Derby County, West Ham United and Preston North End but have since gone 3 without victory, drawing with West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers either side of a 4-0 defeat to Stoke City.

Can the Blues build on last week’s triumph over Cardiff at Fratton Park and record back-to-back wins for the first time this season?

Jake Smith, Graham Butterworth and Danny Thompson will be LIVE on Express FM from 2pm on Saturday (September 12th) to provide full coverage of this Championship fixture involving Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth at The Valley.

Kick-off: 3pm!
