Prediction
Charlton have swiftly acclimatised to life back in the Championship after five years away.
Beating Leyton Orient in the League One play-off final at Wembley, Nathan Jones won their opening game back in the second tier against Watford and have continued to show good form.
The Addicks have been hard to beat, losing only three games and winning four games in their last seven to sit sixth in the table.
Charlton are favourites heading into Saturday’s fixture with Swansea who have shown patchy form over the last two months, winning three, drawing three and losing four in all competitions since the start of September.
The Swans were knocked out of the League Cup by Manchester City on Wednesday and while it won’t define the Welsh club’s campaign, they will be eager to build on the 2-1 victory over Norwich they enjoyed last Saturday.
However, Charlton have found the net in seven of their last eight matches and will be confident of earning another three points.
Sonny Carey is a key midfielder for the Addicks and has scored two goals in his last three games.
With Charlton enjoying home advantage, the summer signing will no doubt find more shooting opportunities against a Swansea side who have kept just one clean sheet in 10 and he could inspire the hosts to victory..
