The race for the play-offs is hotting up as we approach the final three games of the regular league season, with the Addicks taking on Accrington Stanley in their final away trip of the campaign.
Tuesday's 96th-minute gut-punch from Crewe Alexandra prevented Charlton from gaining a firm foothold in the battle for a top-six place but, crucially, their fate remains in their own hands.
Nigel Adkins' men sit in eighth position, one point off Oxford United in seventh and two points off Portsmouth in sixth but with a game in hand on both, while Blackpool in fifth are four points away having played the same amount of games as the Addicks.
Charlton can take confidence from their form on the road having remained unbeaten in their last nine away games, with six of those games ending in victories. In total, the Addicks have won 12, drawn six and lost just four of their 22 games away from home.
Saturday's opponents are in 11th place in League One and will be hoping for a strong end to their season. John Coleman's men have won just one of their last six matches, but they dealt a handy blow to Portsmouth's own play-off hopes in midweek by netting a leveller deep into injury-time after Pompey had thought they had won the points with their own late strike.

Diallang Jaiyesimi is the only player certain to miss out after picking up a hamstring injury last weekend.
Accrington will be without injured defender Ross Sykes.
Charlton boss Nigel Adkins: “I think at any time of the year since John Coleman has been in charge of Accrington Stanley, it’s never an easy game going there. Mentally, we’ve got to be bang on for it and we’ll be prepared. We’ve got to make sure we’re ready to go and compete because we’re going to have to."
Accrington boss John Coleman: “Charlton are a big club and, if they get it right, they can be a handful for anyone but I don’t think they will be looking forward to coming to our place.
“To anyone who thinks we might take our foot off the gas I would say underestimate us at your peril. We have got quite a few young lads who maybe the pressure to win games week in week out has been tough to take but the shackles are off.
Charlton have met Accrington on five previous occasions in all competitions with the Addicks winning two, Stanley one and the other two games ending in draws.
The reverse fixture saw Accrington pick up a 2-0 win at The Valley in January. Charlton's only other league trip to the Wham Stadium resulted in a 1-1 draw in August 2018 with Karlan Grant netting for the visitors.
Alan Young will be the man in the middle on Saturday. He has taken charge of 32 games this term, producing 135 yellow cards and three reds.
Now in his third season as an EFL official, this will be the first occasion he has refereed a Charlton fixture.
Young will be assisted by Stephen Wade and Geoffrey Liddle with Ian Smedley as the Fourth Official.
The match will be played behind closed doors and supporters are reminded to maintain social distancing guidelines and to stay away from the stadium when the match is taking place.
