Match Preview: Charlton Athletic (A).

Victory over Crystal Palace last time out saw the Robins keep their three-point gap at the top of the table and maintain a 100% record on home turf.

Shania Hayles found the net at the end of an action-packed first half before two goals in four minutes from Emily Syme and Abi Harrison all but wrapped up a dominant 3-0 victory 10 minutes into the second half.

The Addicks, on the other hand, will be looking for a reaction after falling to defeat at Lewes on Sunday afternoon as Paula Howell's 53rd-minute effort secured the points for the Sussex side.

Defender Ella Powell said: "We've had a really positive start to the season. In the last few games we've found our goal-scoring boots which presents a really exciting opportunity for us to keep building momentum.

"Charlton are a good side so this will be a tough one for us, but I'm confident that we can keep building on our strong start."

🆚 OUR OPPONENTS: CHARLTON ATHLETIC

Formed: 2000 (as Charlton Athletic)
Stadium: The Oakwood
Nickname: The Addicks
Manager: Karen Hills
Finish last season: 5th

Charlton Athletic began the season in fine form with an opening day victory on the road at Southampton.

A narrow defeat to second-place London City Lionesses followed as Karen Hills' side came out on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller before hitting three without reply against Birmingham City.

Goals haven't been hard to come by in the Addicks' fixtures this season and a stoppage-time winner against Sunderland continued that trend at the end of last month.

A recent dip in form will has seen Charlton go three games without a win in all competitions but with last week's defeat at Lewes undoubtedly leaving the fourth-placed side bruised and ready to fight for a reaction.
