Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees only one winner, with Tottenham’s quality set to prove far too much for Charlton.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Tottenham to win & Over 2.5 goals | 8/11 | Tottenham need a response after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Brentford, and Charlton’s impressive start should ensure they cannot afford to switch off. The Addicks have won all three of their competitive games this season, scoring at least twice in each, so this could be more open than the price suggests. With Spurs expected to bounce back but Charlton carrying a genuine attacking threat, back Tottenham to win and Over 2.5 Goals at 8/11 |
| Correct Score: Tottenham 3-1 Charlton | 10/1 | Spurs will be desperate for a response after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Brentford, and the Carabao Cup offers Roberto De Zerbi’s side an immediate chance to put that result behind them. Charlton have won all three of their competitive games this season, including an impressive victory over West Ham, so they should make life difficult for a rotated Spurs side. However, the Premier League outfit should have too much quality at home and can finally get their campaign moving with a 3-1 win. |

How Tottenham Hotspur go into the game
Tottenham host the tie as short-priced favourites, with the competition a chance to hand minutes to fringe and academy players. Their home stadium is a daunting venue for any Championship side.
Even a much-changed Spurs team carries far more quality than Charlton can muster. A comfortable progression is expected, ideally sealed early.
How Charlton Athletic go into the game
Charlton arrive fresh from promotion back to the Championship, treating this as a free hit against elite opposition. The cup gives their squad a valuable test against top-flight quality.
The Addicks will set up to contain and frustrate, but the class gap is enormous. Keeping the scoreline down would be a realistic measure of success.
Head-to-head
Tottenham and Charlton have not met in recent years, with the clubs long separated by the divide between the divisions.
