Pick of the stats: Charlton Athletic v Preston North End

[BBC] Charlton Athletic are one of only three sides with a 100% record in the Championship after the opening two games of the season. Preston North End are among four sides yet to register a single point, although Southampton are bottom of the table having started the season with a four-point deduction. Charlton have lost five of their past seven home league games against Preston (W1 D1), failing to score in four of those matches. Preston have won each of their past six league games against Charlton, their longest ongoing winning run against any current Championship side. After beating Derby County and West Ham United so far this season, Charlton will be hoping to win their opening three matches of a second-tier campaign for just the second time in club history after the 1992-93 season. Preston won their last away league game in London 2-1 against Charlton in April and will be looking to win consecutive such matches for the first time since October 2020. Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom is unbeaten in four previous league meetings with Charlton manager Nathan Jones (W3 D1), only facing Nigel Pearson and Dean Smith (5 each) more times without losing in England's top four tiers.
