Karen Hills’ side will lock horns with Southampton Women at The Valley this Sunday looking to bounce back after their slim 1-0 defeat against Birmingham City Women in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup.

The Addicks’ fifth-round fixture went into extra time. Ashley Hodson’s solo effort sent her side into the quarter-finals of the competition.

The Addicks’ last Championship match ended in another narrow 1-0 defeat after a first-half strike from Sheffield United’s Georgia Walters’ sealed all three points for the home side.

Karen Hills’ side currently sits 5th in the Barclays Women’s Championship standings with two games in hand due to postponements due to weather. They are currently four points afar from Southampton who sit 3rd in the table.

Charlton v Southampton is a 2pm KO, on Sunday, March 5th at The Valley.

Marieanne Spacey’s side will head to the capital undefeated in three games having recently recorded a 1-0 victory over Sunderland, a 2-0 win against Cyrstal Palace earlier in February and recorded all three points in a 1-0 win against Lewes in January.

Saints currently sit 3rd in the Championship standings; four points clear of the Addicks in fifth and seven points off table- toppers Bristol City Women.

The last matchup between these two sides was the season opener in August 2022. Emily Simpkins and Melissa Johnson were both on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win on a sunny afternoon on the south coast.
