History of the Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic fixture

Blues prepare to entertain Charlton Athletic at St. Andrew's on Monday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 3 of the 23 games on home soil.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Andrew's was less than a year ago, in December 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match, .. view report
