Tottenham Hotspur host Charlton Athletic at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Carabao Cup, with Roberto De Zerbi's side looking to bounce back after a bruising start to their Premier League campaign.
Spurs were beaten 3-0 by Brentford on the opening weekend, a result that left De Zerbi admitting his side failed to compete with the required intensity. The Italian has spoken candidly about the performance, and this cup tie arrives at a moment when the club needs a response.
The summer has not been short on activity in north London. Tottenham have completed the £85 million signing of Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City, adding further firepower to a squad that has already seen Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke arrive. Despite that investment, the Brentford defeat raised questions about readiness.
Charlton, managed by Nathan Jones, arrive in good form from the Championship. The Addicks have won their last two league fixtures and already have a Carabao Cup victory under their belt this season, having beaten Cheltenham Town in the previous round.
Jones' side will not be here to make up the numbers. Three wins from their last four competitive matches tells its own story, and Charlton will back themselves to cause problems against a Spurs side still finding its feet under a new manager.
For De Zerbi, the cup offers an opportunity to build confidence and give fringe players minutes. Whether he rotates heavily or fields a strong side will be one of the more interesting pre-match questions.

Form
Tottenham's last five matches produced one win, two draws, and one defeat in competitive and pre-season action. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 loss to Brentford in the Premier League on August 22. Prior to that, De Zerbi's side drew 2-2 with Hoffenheim in a friendly before beating the same opponents 3-0 the day before. A 1-1 draw with Getafe and a 2-1 friendly win over Chelsea complete the five-match run.
Charlton have been in strong form, winning three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 2-1 Championship win at West Ham United on August 22. Before that, they beat Derby County 2-1 and defeated Cheltenham Town 3-1 in the Carabao Cup first round. A 3-0 friendly defeat to Reading is the one blot on an otherwise encouraging pre-season and early-season record.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these clubs came in the FA Cup on January 9, 2011, when Tottenham won 3-0 at home. Before that, the sides met regularly in the Premier League during the mid-2000s. Across the last five recorded head-to-head fixtures, Tottenham have won four and Charlton one, with Spurs scoring 13 goals to Charlton's three. The last of those Premier League meetings ended 0-2 to Tottenham at Charlton's ground in May 2007.
