Just 76 days after beating Leyton Orient at Wembley in the League One Play-off Final, Charlton will play their first Championship game in more than five years as they welcome Watford to The Valley (12:30 BST).
Nathan Jones' side finished fourth in the third tier last year and have lost only twice at home in the league since the Welshman was appointed as Addicks boss in February 2024.
In the opposite dugout, Uruguayan coach Paolo Pezzolano will take charge of his first Hornets game after replacing Tom Cleverley at the helm in May after his side slumped to finish 14th in the Championship standings.
