Tottenham vs Charlton AthleticPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Tottenham face Charlton in the League Cup with no previous meetings between the two sides. Spurs arrive off the back of a preparation spell with three draws in their last five games, 2-2 against Hoffenheim, 1-1 with Getafe and 1-1 with Sydney, and two wins, 3-0 also against Hoffenheim and 2-1 away at Chelsea. Charlton, on the other hand, have a proper league record, three wins in their last five, the most recent a 2-1 win over Derby, on top of victories over Cheltenham (3-1 away) and Colchester (2-0 away), with defeats coming against Reading (0-3) and AFC Wimbledon (0-2). The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
