"Starting with the hosts, opening up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a record-breaking rut, Norwich are still trying to fully recover from what was a woeful start to proceedings. While new boss Philippe Clement might have only arrived at Carrow Road last month, it appears that the former Rangers boss is offering some essential signs of life in Norfolk."
"Securing a heavyweight Championship scalp earlier in the month as they secured a 2-1 victory at home against Southampton, Clement's men are now sat within touching distance of skyrocketing their way out of the relegation zone. Signing off November with a stellar 3-1 win against QPR, Friday's hosts have tasted just a single defeat from any of their previous six consecutive Championship appearances and they will be smelling a potential opportunity here."
"As for the visitors, managing to claim an essential boost last time out as they snatched a 1-0 victory at home against fellow strugglers Oxford, Charlton are desperate to find some much-needed stability. However, despite enjoying what was an eye-catching flurry on either side of opening November, Nathan Jones' camp have largely come crashing back down to earth and many around south London are looking over their shoulder at a potential relegation scrap."
Norwich began the 2025/26 campaign in a record-breaking rut but have shown signs of recovery under new boss Philippe Clement. Norwich drew 1-1 at Preston, beat Southampton 2-1, and finished November with a 3-1 win against QPR, suffering only one defeat in their last six Championship matches and moving within touching distance of escaping the relegation zone. Charlton earned a 1-0 win over Oxford but have managed only one win in seven Championship outings. Nathan Jones' side enjoyed a brief flurry around early November but have since slipped back toward a relegation scrap, with past meetings including a 2022 FA Cup loss to Norwich.
