Charlton Athletic will be aiming to put a halt to a miserable run of games when they host Sheffield United on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Having won their opening three games, the Addicks have not been able to claim another victory since and are currently in a rut of four successive losses.

The Blades will have their own play-off ambitions in mind, however, with just one point keeping them outside in ninth as it stands.
