Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Charlton Athletic

Norwich City will aim to boost their Championship survival hopes when they welcome Charlton Athletic to Carrow Road on Friday afternoon (15:00 GMT kick-off).

The Canaries are unbeaten in their past three (W1 D2) and could move out of the relegation zone for the first time since 21 October if they win, Portsmouth lose and Oxford fail to win.

The Addicks ended a six-game winless run (D1 L5) with a 2-1 victory over Oxford last time out and are eight points clear of the bottom three.

• Norwich have won two of their past three league games against Charlton (L1), as many as in their previous 15 (D4 L9). This is the first league meeting between the sides since February 2015.
• Charlton have won just one of their previous five away league games against Norwich (D2 L2), though it was in their last visit in September 2014.
