Prediction: 1-2
Sunderland
All eyes will be on League One when Charlton and Sunderland face each other in the League One derby on Saturday afternoon. The Red Robins aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Black Cats. The capital club, though, are on a five-game losing run, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
All Jake Forster-Caskey, Jayden Stockley, Chuks Aneke, and Conor Washington should miss out with injuries for the home team. The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic. Sunderland are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, and they should take advantage of Charlton’s poor form. All Aiden McGeady, Luke O’Nien, Lee Burge, Nathan Broadhead, and Niall Huggins have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jake Forster-Caskey ):
Born in Southend-on-Sea, England on April 25, 1994 Jake Forster-Caskey is a midfielder who plays for Charlton Athletic in the League One. Forster-Caskey started his both youth and senior careers at Brighton & Hove Albion and it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 67 league appearances for the Seagulls first team.
After spending a couple of seasons on loan at the likes of Oxford United, Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United, the English footballer signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Charlton Athletic in the winter of 2017. Jake quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the capital club, scoring 5 goals in 43 appearances in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
However, he was out of contention for most of the 2018/2019 season with a serious knee injury. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and left midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Sunderland):
Sunderland are a professional football club that have been playing their home games at the Stadium of Light since 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 49,000, but before expansion the original ground capacity was 42,000. Red and White shirts are Sunderland’s trademark and the club’s fiercest rivals are Newcastle United. The two local rivals have been contesting in the Tyne-Wear derby since 1898 and there have always been fireworks in what is one of the greatest derbies in English football. Sunderland were on the verge of dropping to the Championship in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign, but experienced tactician Sam Allardyce eventually helped the team avoid relegation.
The Black Cats have won six First Division trophies (now the Premier League), with the team lifting two FA Cup titles. Sunderland won their first FA Cup trophy in 1937, with the team beating Preston North End 3-1 in the title game. The club was founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers A.F.C.
