The Charlton vs Sheffield Utd betting odds point firmly one way at The Valley, with the visitors priced at 21/20 (Coral) to win this Championship fixture.
Charlton are hovering just above the relegation zone, and it is not hard to see why. They have lost four straight in the Championship and have not won in 11.
Sheffield Utd sit just outside the play-off places and arrive in good heart. They have won four of their last six, coming from behind to beat Preston at Deepdale in midweek.
Charlton actually lead the previous meetings by three wins to two, with a draw thrown in, but history will not fix a side this short on goals.
Charlton vs Sheffield Utd Form
Charlton's slump is grim viewing. A home defeat to Bolton in midweek made it four straight Championship losses, and they have won none of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Finishing is a clear weakness, which leaves Karlan Grant carrying most of the creative load from the No.10 role behind Miles Leaburn.
Sheffield Utd rank fifth in the form table and are playing like it. Sydie Peck's hat-trick dragged them back from an early deficit to win 3-2 at Preston, and coming back from losing positions is a genuine strength of this side. Peck arriving from the engine room is the threat Charlton must stop.
Charlton vs Sheffield Utd Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Charlton: Collins Sichenje (Injured/out), Rob Apter (Injured/out), Kayne Ramsay (Doubtful), Nathaniel Chalobah (Injured/doubtful)
Sheffield Utd: Jamie Shackleton (Injured/out), Ryan Oné (Injured/out), Kalvin Phillips (Doubtful), Patrick Bamford (Doubtful)
Charlton
Nathaniel Chalobah picked up a knock in the first half against Bolton and could miss out, so Nathan Jones is likely to recall Oliver Skipp alongside Conor Coventry. Miles Leaburn and Millenic Alli could also start, while Collins Sichenje and Rob Apter are both injured.
Sheffield Utd
Liam Kitching has served his one-match suspension and returns to the squad. Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are listed as doubts but should both be back after missing the Preston win, and that shapes the Charlton vs Sheffield Utd lineups, with Bamford set to pair up with Ben Brereton Díaz. Jamie Shackleton and Ryan Oné are injured.

Charlton vs Sheffield Utd Bet Builder
Our Charlton vs Sheffield Utd bet builder tips combine a Sam McCallum card, Sydie Peck shots, a Karlan Grant shot on target and Sheffield Utd cards, priced at 21/1 with Bet365.
Sam McCallum to be shown a card. The referee has reached for his pocket in 3 of McCallum's last 5 Championship games, and this has the look of a messy, physical fixture.
Sydie Peck over 2.5 shots. He has let fly four or more times in each of his last 3 Championship outings, and his hat-trick at Preston shows he is shooting on sight.
Karlan Grant over 0.5 shots on target. He has tested the goalkeeper at least once in 5 of his last 5 Championship meetings with Sheffield United.
Over 1.5 Sheffield Utd cards. This line has landed in 8 of the Blades' last 10 matches, and Charlton's aggressive, direct approach is built to drag opponents into fouls.

Charlton vs Sheffield Utd Talking Points
Nathan Jones has demanded a "full performance" from Charlton, cutting out individual mistakes and cheap goals, and he has a point. Just six goals in their last 11 league matches tells its own story, and Karlan Grant remains their most likely route to goal. At the other end, Sydie Peck is red hot after his first-half hat-trick at Preston, and Sheffield Utd's knack of coming back from losing positions means even a Charlton opener may not be enough. Charlton are 3/1 (Bet365) for a reason.
