Recent respective form guides

Charlton Athletic are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 8 matches.

Nottingham Forest's total of 18 points from their 9 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Skybet Championship.

Powell Downbeat

Charlton's poor form continued with a comprehensive defeat at Burnley on Saturday and, with key players missing through injury, manager Chris Powell was downcast afterwards.

“All we can do is prepare for the next game," he said. "We can’t change any event that has happened previously.

“We’ve got a game coming up against a decent Forest side and whether that is a good or bad thing we’ve got to prepare for it and try to turn it around."
