Match preview

Tottenham host Charlton in the Round of 64 of the EFL Cup looking to rebound from a 3-0 away defeat against Brentford. Prior to that setback, Tottenham had produced solid attacking outings at home, including a 3-0 victory and a 2-2 draw in consecutive fixtures against 1899 Hoffenheim, alongside a 1-1 draw with Getafe and a 2-1 win at Chelsea.

Charlton enter the cup tie in strong form, having secured victories in four of their last five fixtures. Their recent run includes a 2-1 away victory over West Ham, a 2-1 home win against Derby, and a 3-1 away win at Cheltenham, showing consistent goalscoring form despite an earlier 3-0 loss at Reading.

Both squads face several personnel absences heading into the tie. Tottenham are missing M. Kudus, D. Kulusevski, W. Odobert, P. M. Sarr, X. Simons, and M. van de Ven through injury, while P. Porro is listed as inactive. Charlton travel without the injured J. Edwards, C. Kelman, T. Ouma, and K. Ramsay.
