However, an in-form Leeds side will be confident they can end the drought against Charlton tomorrow with the visitors already relegated and possibly more focused on matters off the field.

Charlton’s last two home games have been delayed due to fans releasing balloons and beach balls onto the field in the early stages of play in protest against the running of the club.

Here’s a look back at the recent clashes between these two at Elland Road.

Leeds United 2 Charlton 2 – November 4, 2014

An Alex Mowatt double wasn’t enough to see off the Addicks which saw Leeds go eight games without a victory causing a worrying slide down the table to 17th for Neil Redfearn’s side.

Mowatt deserved a victory for his side as he weighed in with two classy goals and an overall fine performance.

However, Charlton levelled twice in the game through Johann Berg Gudmundsson, whose first was a scrambled effort and his second, a late contentious penalty against Giuseppe Bellusci.

Matt Holland had put Charlton ahead early on but goals from Matthew Kilgallon, Jermaine Pennant and Alan Smith put United in a commanding position.

Euell quickly got one back from the penalty spot before some calamitous defending from Michael Duberry presented Euell with a quick second which condemned Leeds to relegation.
