West Bromwich Albion: strong start halted at Middlesbrough
James Morrison's side began the league campaign with victories over Norwich 2-1 and Burnley 3-1, but lost 3-1 to Middlesbrough in the previous round. Despite the result, the coach was pleased with large parts of his team's performance, pointing mainly to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the goals they conceded.
One of the standout performers at the start of the season has been Jimmy-Jay Morgan, who has registered four goal contributions in three league matches. West Brom have also lost to Charlton only once in their last 10 head-to-head meetings in all competitions.

The squad underwent significant changes over the summer, but the newcomers have quickly adapted to the team's playing model. However, Jones noted after the victory over Preston that his side still need to show more cutting edge in the final third.

The leaders can extend their winning run: West Bromwich Albion vs Charlton prediction
West Brom have made a confident start to the season and should cause the leaders serious problems at home. However, Charlton currently look more consistent and have already shown that they know how to get results in evenly matched contests.
