Burnley have avoided defeat in three of their four home league fixtures this season, drawing three times, and come into the match with momentum after a 4-0 win at Watford. They have also scored in every single league match this season. In contrast, Charlton are winless in six Championship matches and have conceded nine goals across four away fixtures without recording a clean sheet on their travels. While Burnley contend with multiple squad absences, Charlton's recent attacking struggles, failing to score in three matches and averaging only 0.9 goals per game, mean Burnley are well positioned to take something from the encounter.

Match preview
Burnley welcome Charlton to Turf Moor in round ten of the Championship looking to build on their emphatic 4-0 away victory over Watford. That result lifted morale for the hosts, who sit 22nd in the standings with seven points. Burnley have displayed steady attacking reliability by scoring in all nine of their league matches, though converting home performances into maximum points remains an objective after three draws and one defeat from four games on home turf.
Charlton arrive in Lancashire placed 11th on 13 points, but their recent trajectory has slowed considerably. After opening the season with positive results, they are currently on a six-match winless streak in the Championship that features three draws and three losses. Away from home, the Addicks have struggled defensively, conceding nine goals across four fixtures at an average of 2.3 goals against per game while failing to register an away clean sheet.
Squad availability presents challenges for Burnley, who have eleven players listed as unavailable including J. Cullen, J. Beyer, and H. Mejbri through injury. Charlton also travel without C. Sichenje, N. Chalobah, and M. Godden. However, Charlton's vulnerability on the road and lack of recent victories give Burnley a clear opportunity to secure at least a point in front of their home supporters.
