Charlton Women are back in action in the Subway Players Cup on Wednesday night as BWSL2 side Ipswich Town head to The Valley (7.30pm GMT).

TEAM NEWS

It was a dramatic weekend for the Addicks, who lost 3-2 in stoppage time to South London rivals Crystal Palace at the 360 Engage Stadium. In a topsy-turvy game, Charlton scored two quick-fire goals, thanks to Elisha N'Dow and Leah Davidson, to put the team in the lead before Palace's eventual comeback.

This was N'Dow's first goal for the club this season, and her first goal for Charlton since September 28th, 2024, when she scored against Blackburn. Davidson's goal was her second of the season, the first being against Manchester United in October in the BWSL also.

It was announced before the game on Sunday that goalkeeper Anna Pedersen had made the move to Newcastle United on an emergency loan for seven days.

Last time out in the Subway Players Cup, Charlton lost 2-1 to West Ham, leaving the Addicks 18th in the table on three points, with one win and three losses so far.

THE OPPOSITION 

Barclays WSL2 side Ipswich Town are doing well in the league this season. They currently sit third after losing on the weekend to Bristol City.

In the Subway Players Cup, Ipswich are 14th, on four points thanks to one win, one draw (and subsequent loss on penalties) and one loss.

The Tractor Girls have a familiar face to Charlton fans in their ranks as Mary McAteer is currently on a season-long loan at the team.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Charlton and Ipswich played each other twice last season, drawing both games. The first was 0-0 at The Valley before a late Gillian Kenney equaliser shared the spoils at the Job Serve Community Stadium in February.

The last time the teams played in a cup match was in January 2024 in the FA Cup. The Addicks were 4-1 winners on that day.
