Preview

Cardiff were heading for a point and a clean sheet against fellow newly promoted side Bolton last weekend before Thierry Gale's 90th-minute goal levelled the scoreline. The Welsh club are still searching for their first league win since promotion.

Charlton played out their second successive goalless draw in gameweek seven as they shared the spoils with Portsmouth at The Valley. The Addicks are winless in their last four Championship outings but are still in the play-off places.
