At the start of the F.A Cup a few words were bounced around the addicks mouths of 'upsets' or 'giant killings'. Well so far this season there have been non after Charlton comfortably pushed League Two outfit Rochdale to one side.

Yeovil have responded amazingly to this perhaps one of their biggest fixtures of the season. Tickets are in such great demand that Charlton Athletic have given Yeovil 4,000 tickets which means some charlton fans will need to make room in the East Stand for the extra away support!

Its the second time in a row the addicks have drawn a League Two team at home in the F.A Cup this year. At the begining of the month Charlton brushed passed Rochdale witha comfortable 4-1 victory to set up a tie with Yeovil.

Yeovil have a history of taking scalps in the F.A Cup and many Charlton fans will be hoping tomorrow will not be 'one of those days' for their Premiership club. Yeovil come into the match in high spirits while being top of League Two and they also have the leagues top scorer to help them out tomorrow.

All in all i feel this match could be alot closer then what people think. Given Charltons usual tendancey to get knocked out of the cup by lower league teams...this could be a rough ride for the Charlton faithfull!
