Tottenham v Charlton – Wednesday, 7.45pm

• Tottenham Hotspur survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, making it back‑to‑back campaigns in which Spurs finished seventeenth and following Saturday’s humiliation at Brentford, there’s still some concern.
• Roberto De Zerbi impressed during his short spell in charge last term, and with a full season ahead of him, plus the quality of players Spurs have added over the summer, you’d expect a much better campaign but it’s not that simple.
• Notwithstanding that, Spurs should have more than enough quality to win this all‑London affair on Wednesday night. They’ll be hoping it proves a step towards lifting their first EFL Cup trophy since 2008, and punters can back Tottenham at 1/4 with William Hill.

• Charlton haven’t made it into the third round of the EFL Cup since going all the way to the quarter-finals back in 2022/2023, whilst this is the first time these two sides have met in any competition since their FA Cup clash back in 2011.
• Nathan Jones’ side have started their 2026 campaign in fine form with three victories from three games, including their trip to West Ham on Saturday despite being the underdogs on the betting market.
• From east London to north London, Charlton will be hoping to defy the betting odds once again in this, with punters able to back the The Addicks to win at 17/2 with William Hill.
