Middlesbrough face a trip to Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2002, the Addicks carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
