Pick of the stats: Coventry City v Charlton Athletic

Runaway leaders Coventry will seek to increase their advantage in the promotion race as they welcome wobbling Charlton on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The free-scoring Sky Blues go into the weekend with a 10-point lead after Tuesday's 4-2 win at Middlesbrough, remain unbeaten at home and have won 10 of their past 11 Championship games.

Though they remain just four points behind the play-off places, the Addicks have slipped to 16th off the back of three straight defeats in which they have scored only once and allowed nine goals at the other end - the most recent a 3-0 reverse at Stoke on Tuesday night.

• Coventry have lost just one of their past 15 home league games against Charlton Athletic (W9 D5), with this their first meeting with the Addicks since a 2-1 victory on Boxing Day 2018.

• Charlton Athletic lost both league meetings with Coventry City when they last met in 2018/19 – they've never lost three in a row against the Sky Blues before.

• Coventry have won 10 of their past 11 league games (L1), while at home they've won each of their past five; it's their longest since a run of seven in October 2021.

• Charlton have lost each of their past three league games, conceding more goals in that time (9) than in their prior 10 games combined (7).

• Coventry's Ellis Simms has scored more goals in his past two games (3) than in his previous 25 Championship appearances (2).
