Charlton v Arsenal

13 April 2012

3pm Saturday, The Valley.
Tickets: Charlton: £30 (£20-£25 concs). Tel. 020 8333 4010; Arsenal: Sold out
Last season: 0-3 (Henry 2, Ljungberg)
Facts: No Premiership side drew more league games than Charlton last season, but the Addicks have not shared the points with anyone this season.
Recommended pub: The Bugle Horn (Charlton Village)
Five games into the season, Arsenal top of the table and Patrick Vieira wants a rest. Let's hear it for Patrick, all together now, aaahhh. Of course, Vieira's plea will strike a chord with some, hospital doctors for example, young mums who have been up half the night, factory workers who need the overtime to make ends meet. If I was Vieira, however, I would just go back home this afternoon when most of the rest of the population are still working, put my feet up and count my money. Tomorrow's opponents Charlton lost 3-0 in the corresponding fixture late last season, but Alan Curbishley will be keener to remind his players about the 4-2 victory at Arsenal back in November.
Verdict: PATRICK PERKS UP
