Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth is looking forward to the visit of Charlton Athletic at Adams Park on Saturday.
The Addicks arrive in Buckinghamshire under new manager Ben Garner who started off life in West London quite positively.
Out of his seven games in charge, he was won three, drawn three and lost one but one of those draws ended in a victory.

This was in a League Cup match against QPR which Charlton won 5-3 on penalties at the start of the month.
Speaking on his opposite number, Ainsworth said: “Ben Garner cut his teeth over at Bristol Rovers and then had success at Swindon.
“He’s gone to Charlton which are a huge club, a former Premier League and Championship club.

Wycombe Wanderers have lost back to back home games for first time since November . Charlton won 1-0 at Walsall in midweek and now face Stevenage in the next round @wwfcofficial @CAFCofficial #chairboys #cafc
Prediction = 0-1
“They have a huge budget and will be one of the eight or nine teams that will be fighting for a place at the top of the league this season.
“There are big expectations for them but hopefully, we can put a spanner in their works as we need to win games.”
Prior to last season, Wycombe had lost their previous six matches against the Addicks in League One before doing the double of Charlton in the 2021/22 campaign.
