West Brom vs Charlton Talking Points

The big storyline is West Brom's response after a first league defeat of the season, with the focus firmly on a rebound performance at home. Charlton, meanwhile, are riding a 100% start and sit alone at the top after collecting nine points from nine. There's an added edge in Karlan Grant, who featured prominently for the Addicks early this season after his time at West Brom, and who scored the decisive goal against Preston. Something has to give at The Hawthorns: the hosts are moneyline favorites, but Charlton's stubborn, one-goal-margin wins prove they know how to grind out results.
