Charlton boss Lee Bowyer: “It was a hard game when we played them up there. They just went to Sunderland and got a draw, so they are a good side. They’ve got good players that can hurt you, so it is going to be a tough one but again it is up to us. I always believe when we go into a game, if we do the right things then we will win it.”
Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips: “I watched them at Fleetwood when our Accrington game was called off and they play football and play a diamond with two up front. I expect a harder game than they gave Fleetwood because they’ll be at home. They’ve got some good players, that’s for sure, but we’ll go down there and give them a match.”
Saturday’s game will be the 64th meeting between Charlton and Blackpool. The Addicks have won 18 of the previous encounters, while there have been 15 draws and the Seasiders have won 30.
Last season at The Valley, the two teams shared a 1-1 with Joe Aribo hitting the target for Charlton.
For 2018/19's match previews, we are dipping into the Valley Pass archive to look back on a previous encounter against Charlton's opponents.
This time, we wind the clock back five years to May 2014 when a hat-trick from Callum Harriott earned the Addicks a 3-0, final-day win at Bloomfield Road.
