Pick of the stats: Middlesbrough v Charlton Athletic

[ASFN Admin]

Middlesbrough will seek to keep the pressure on Championship leaders Coventry when they host Charlton on Wednesday night (19:45 GMT).

After the Sky Blues went eight-points clear courtesy of a 2-0 win at Bristol City on Saturday, Boro reduced the gap to five points with a 4-0 win at QPR on Sunday, their eighth win in 11 games, from which they have earned 26 points.

Charlton are 18th but overcame Birmingham by the only goal at The Valley on Saturday to move nine points clear of the relegation zone and have lost just one of their past five away games.

• Middlesbrough have lost just one of their past 13 league games against Charlton (W10 D2), winning the past three in a row.
• Charlton have won just one of their past 17 away league games against Middlesbrough (D6 L10), and are winless in six visits since a 3-0 win in August 2005.
• Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their past five home league games (W3 D2), conceding just one goal in that run.
• Charlton have won just one of their past 12 away league games (D5 L6), beating Leicester 2-0 at the end of January.
• Middlesbrough's Morgan Whittaker has scored in each of his past three league games against Charlton, though all of these have come away from home.
