Burnley face Charlton Athletic in key Championship home fixture

Burnley host Charlton Athletic at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening aiming to build momentum after a resounding away victory last time out. The Clarets sit 22nd in the Championship with seven points from nine games, 13 points behind leaders Swansea, and this home fixture presents a key opportunity to improve their position.

Burnley's recent results have been a mixed bag, but the 4-0 win at Watford on 10 October provided a significant boost. That result ended a five-game winless run in the league, which included draws with Derby and Wrexham and defeats to Swansea and Bristol City. Striker Zeki Amdouni, the club's top scorer with three goals this season, was on the scoresheet at Vicarage Road alongside goals from Bruun Larsen, Hatate and Mikey Edwards.

That lineup featured Coudert in goal, a back four of Walker, Ahmedhodzic, Igor and Lucas Pires, with Alleyne and Hatate in midfield. The attacking trio of Ramazani, Laurent and Bruun Larsen supported lone striker Zeki Amdouni. Charlton, managed by Nathan Jones, are likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation built around the physical presence of striker Leaburn.

Charlton arrive in 12th place with 13 points from their nine matches. They have drawn their last two games, 1-1 against Sheffield Wednesday and 0-0 with Coventry City. The Addicks have struggled for goals on the road, failing to score in three of their four away league fixtures this season. Their only away win came at newly promoted Wrexham in August.

Burnley's home form has been a concern, with just one win from four league games at Turf Moor this campaign. That solitary victory was a 1-0 result against Oxford United in September.

This match is a chance for Burnley to string together positive results and start moving up the standings. A win would lift them above several teams in a congested lower half of the table. The comprehensive nature of the Watford victory, where they scored four goals for the first time this season, should give the squad confidence. The Clarets kick off against 12th-placed Charlton at Turf Moor at 7:45pm on Tuesday, 13 October.
