The Addicks make their first away trip of the Sky Bet Championship campaign on Saturday, making the short journey across the capital to take on West Ham United at London Stadium (3pm BST).
Nathan Jones’ side got their season off to a winning start last weekend, securing a 2-1 victory over Derby County at The Valley.
TEAM NEWS
Charlie Kelman and Kayne Ramsay will remain sidelined through injury, while Josh Edwards has returned to training as he nears a return to action.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference Nathan Jones provided an update on new signing Timothy Ouma. who has been working towards full fitness after signing on loan from Slavia Prague.
“Ouma played the other day in the U21s," he said.
"The intensity of a Championship fixture and an U21s fixture are vastly different, he has hardly trained, he had visa issues early on. That wait prolonged us from being able to bring him back over from Kenya, so he has missed a lot of pre-seasons, and we are building him up, it is a work in progress on that front."
There could be a debut for the Addicks' latest arrival Arthur Okonkwo, after signing on loan from Wrexham on Thursday.
The Hammers are set to be without midfield pair Tomás Souček (ankle) and Keiber Lamadrid (muscle).
THE OPPOSITION
West Ham finished 18th in the Premier League last season, resulting in relegation to the Sky Bet Championship after 14 years in the top flight.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side come into the clash off the back of a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Burnley last weekend.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Charlton and West Ham have gone toe-to-toe on 41 occasions, with the Addicks winning 14, the Hammers winning 17 and the remaining 10 encounters ending in draws.
The sides last met in the second round of the Carabao Cup in September 2020, with West Ham securing a 3-0 victory thanks to a brace from Sébastien Haller and a goal from Felipe Anderson.
Charlton's last victory over West Ham came at The Valley in the Premier League in February 2007, with Darren Ambrose, Jerome Thomas and Darren Bent all getting on the scoresheet during the sides' last league meeting.
