Pick of the stats: Stoke City v Charlton Athletic

Stoke City and Charlton Athletic faced off in a Championship match on Saturday. Charlton had started their season with a winning streak, but that ended against West Bromwich Albion. Stoke, on the other hand, had secured their first points of the midweek against Norwich City.

Stoke's recent home performances against Charlton have been impressive. They have only lost one out of their last 14 matches in this venue, winning seven of their last eight games. This includes three consecutive victories since a 1-2 defeat in February 1998. Conversely, Charlton have won four of their last seven league games against Stoke, a tally that equates to their previous 20 before that.

Stoke's season so far has been challenging, with only three points from their first four league games. They have conceded nine goals, marking their worst returns in points and goals-against since the 2019-20 season. Charlton, meanwhile, have managed 10 points from their four Championship games to date, the most they've amassed at this stage since the 1992-93 season.

Tyreece Campbell has been a standout for Charlton, scoring three goals in four league games this season, a feat he managed in 45 appearances during the previous year.
