Charlton Athletic head to Burnley on Tuesday night hunting a first victory since August. Nathan Jones's side are 12th in the Championship with 13 points from nine games, a position they will aim to improve upon at Turf Moor. The Addicks have not won in six matches across all competitions, a run that has seen them slide down the table after a strong start.
Lloyd Jones continues his ever-present role in the heart of the defence, having started all nine league matches this season. The 31-year-old, who helped the club secure promotion and retain its Championship status, has also contributed three goals in all competitions. Leading the attack is Tyreece Campbell, the team's top scorer with four goals in nine league appearances. The 23-year-old Jamaican international is approaching 200 games for the Addicks.
Burnley's form and motivation
Burnley return home after a convincing 4-0 win at Watford last Saturday, their first league victory under head coach Nicky Hayen. "Nicky Hayen's side will be looking to build on Saturday's 4-0 win at Watford and secure a first home league victory of the 2026/27 campaign," the manager said. The Clarets are seeking that elusive first home win of the season to build momentum.
Match details
Anthony Backhouse will referee the Sky Bet Championship fixture, assisted by Connor Brown and Johnathon Bickerdike. Kick-off at Turf Moor is set for 7:45pm UK time on Tuesday, 13 October. Sky Sports customers can live stream the match via the Sky Go app.
Charlton's recent form reads five games without a win, comprising three draws and two defeats. Their last outing was a 1-1 draw with Bristol City at The Valley, where Grant scored an early goal. A victory could propel them back into the top-six conversation, given their strong start to the season. The team's full upcoming schedule is available on our fixtures page, while the current standings show the tight nature of the division.
Conor Coventry, an ever-present in midfield last term, will be a key figure as Charlton look to control the game. The Addicks conclude their trip to Lancashire with a home fixture next weekend against Preston North End. Manager Nathan Jones has emphasised the need for defensive solidity, noting his side has conceded key goal minutes just before halftime in recent weeks, a trend they are determined to stop. The team will then prepare for the visit of Preston, a match that could be key if they can secure a positive result at Turf Moor first.
