Pick of the stats: Charlton Athletic v Sheffield United

This is a first league meeting between these two in London for nearly 10 years with Charlton looking for only their second win in their past five matches.
Sheffield United are yet to draw an away league game so far this season.
Charlton have won three of their past five league games against Sheffield United (D1 L1), including a 1-0 win at Bramall Lane this season.
This is Sheffield United's first visit to Charlton in the league since a 1-1 draw in League One in November 2016, while in the Championship it is their first since a 5-2 win in November 2008.
Charlton are one of only two sides, along with Sheffield Wednesday, who have faced more shots than they have had themselves in all three game states in the Championship this season: when drawing (72), losing (8) and winning (30).
Sheffield United have won seven of their past 10 Championship matches (D1 L2). Since the date of the first game in this run (23 November), the Blades have won the most points of any side in the division (22).
Patrick Bamford has scored six goals in 11 appearances in all competitions for Sheffield United. Since his debut for the Blades, the only Championship players with more goals are Norwich's Jovon Makama (9) and Morgan Whitaker of Middlesbrough (7) across all competitions.
