Recent respective form guides
Manchester City will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Sky Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Man City see themselves just below half way in the Barclaycard Premiership, showing a record of 21 points from their 19 games played so far, Charlton Ath. sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 30 points from their 19 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Sky Blues at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Addicks come away with an easy victory. Away win
