Strike that idea about Everton. Both have some pretty rank form of late with the exception being their last games. Impossible to call. Here are the big match facts from
BBC for anyone who dares to have a flutter on this one.
BIG-MATCH FACTS
EVERTON and Charlton both ended 2005 with a much needed boost. The Merseysiders followed four defeats on the bounce by stealing three priceless points off basement dwellers Sunderland, through Tim Cahill's late, late winner at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. It means David Moyes' team go into this home clash two places and three points above the trap door - a far cry from where they entered the year at fourth top and chasing Champions League football.
The Toffees have lost six top flight matches at Goodison Park this season - half of them in their last three when nine goals have been conceded (v West Ham 1-2, Bolton 0-4 and Liverpool 1-3). They've failed to score in four in front of the home faithful and have netted one goal in each of the other five.
Everton have not beaten Charlton in five Premiership meetings, although overall their League head-to-head standings are dead level at 18 wins a piece with eight draws.
CHARLTON ATHLETIC had lost eight of nine in all competitions, going into the New Year's Eve fixture with West Ham at the Valley. Shaun Bartlett and Darren Bent goals gave manager Alan Curbishley a much needed tonic, having seen his side drop from second to 12th in two months. Now they face the club with the poorest attack in the top flight.
Athletic didn't concede more than a single goal in any of their first five away League matches. Now they've shipped eight in three - all of which were lost (4-1 at Blackburn, 1-0 at Villa and 3-0 at Wigan). Curbishley's charges are searching for their sixth away League victory.
The Addicks are bidding for a fourth successive top flight maximum over the Toffees and a third in a row at Goodison Park. The Londoners completed the 'double' over their Merseyside opponents with an away victory on 22 January. Midfielder Matt Holland struck the game's only goal just before half time from 25 metres, as the Addicks brought an end to Everton's glorious run of five successive home League wins.
