West Bromwich vs Charlton Athletic predictions: Goals look likely in Hawthorns clash
Ian Wilkerson
West Brom are looking to respond to defeats at Newcastle United and Middlesbrough
Charlton were the only team to have maximum points after three games
Recommended bet: Charlton to score, Isaac Price to have a shot on target and Ousmane Diakite to be booked @ 9/1 with LiveScore Bet
After victories over Derby, West Ham and Preston, Charlton take their perfect Championship record to West Bromwich on Wednesday.
They face a team who lost their most recent league game at Middlesbrough but have claimed wins over Burnley and Norwich after finishing fourth from bottom last season.
Team news
Albion boss James Morrison looks set to stick with the team that lost at Middlesbrough, with new signing Toby Collyer expected to be on the bench.
For Charlton, Nathaniel Chalobah and Miles Leaburn are doubtful after picking up injuries in the 1-0 win over Preston on Saturday, so Alan Mwamba and Micah Mbick could come into the equation.

The stats
Both teams have scored in all five of West Brom's games this season
Charlton have won four of their last five Championship matches by a one-goal margin
Just two of Charlton's last eight league games have failed to generate at least three goals
Albion have conceded in just two of their last six Championship games at The Hawthorns
Six of the last eight meetings have finished level
Charlton were the only team to have won all of their opening three Championship outings this season
Prediction
This looks set to be an open game and with both teams scoring in all five matches West Brom have played this season, there is a real chance Charlton could find the net.
The Baggies tend to defend at a higher level when they are playing on their own patch, but the Addicks have shown they know where the goal is after winning 2-1 at relegated West Ham and Nathan Jones' side have failed to notch in just two of their last 17 Championship outings.
A goal for the visitors can be the first aspect of a Bet Builder selection on Wednesday's game and there looks like a strong chance that West Brom midfielder Isaac Price can have a shot on target.
He has already scored four times this season, including both goals in the 3-2 EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle, and has mustered 10 shots on target in his five seasonal outings, so he should be able to test the Charlton keeper.
However, his team-mate Ousmane Diakite could be vulnerable to a booking after receiving three cautions in his five games this term.
Do not be surprised if he comes to the referee's attention again in this clash.
Correct Score: West Brom 2-2 Charlton
