What will happen in this one though? Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment come the full time whistle.

Last time round Charlton’s winning run was extended to three, taking the Addicks up to third; they could go top if – should other results go for them – all three points are secured at Valley Parade against Southend.

Second-bottom Oldham’s bid for an elusive win takes them to Fleetwood on Saturday. Northampton, a place below the Latics, propping up the rest, also chase a first point when hosting Doncaster.

Gillingham have also failed to win a game collecting only two draws – they travel to Oxford.

Leaders Peterborough were held to a draw last time round and face the challenge from Bradford this time, which could seriously threaten the unbeaten Posh start.

Rochdale are one of those select few clubs who haven’t won with the improving Blackburn – who have won their last two – next travelling to Spotland.

Meanwhile, unbeaten Scunthorpe, Shrewsbury and Wigan will look to keep these runs going – the Iron entertain Blackpool with the Shrew and Latics, in second and fifth, respectively, meeting at Greenhous Meadow.
