    Newly-promoted Charlton Athletic will look to continue their unbeaten start to the Championship season when they host Leicester City in Saturday's early kick-off (12:30 BST).

    The Addicks have started solidly, picking up four points in their opening two fixtures, whilst Leicester City have begun inconsistently, winning one and losing one.

    The Foxes are seeking their first away win on their return to the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League.

    • Charlton Athletic have lost just one of their last 11 league games against Leicester City (W6 D4), scoring exactly two goals in each of those six victories

    • Leicester City won their last league game against Charlton Athletic 3-0 in March 2014 and will be looking to record successive victories against the Addicks for the first time since October 1990.

    • Charlton Athletic kept a clean sheet in both their opening Championship matches. The Addicks haven't kept three clean sheets across their opening three league games of a campaign in the top two tiers since 1998-99 in the Premier League.

    • Leicester City have failed to win any of their last nine away league games (D2 L7), their longest run of losses on the road since a 15-match streak between May 2016 and February 2017.

    • This game will be Charlton Athletic's 1,000th home league game in England's second tier, becoming the 20th side to hit that milestone and the first since Burnley last season.

    Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes said full-backs Ricardo Pereira and James Justin could return from injury to play against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

    New club captain Pereira, 31, is yet to feature for the Foxes this season due to a recurring hamstring injury.

    "He was very eager to come with the team, so he travelled to Preston, but we didn't risk him. It's very good news for us," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.

    Justin, 27, suffered a dead leg in Saturday's defeat at Preston North End and was substituted, but he could also feature at The Valley.

    "He's progressing and we'll make a decision tomorrow," Cifuentes said.

    Victor Kristiansen's fitness continues to be a source of concern for Cifuentes, however, with the Dane likely to remain unavailable for several weeks.

    The 22-year-old is training away from the first-team squad as he looks to recover from an injury suffered in training.

    Australian central defender Harry Souttar remains a long-term absentee with an Achilles injury.
