Preview & Prediction
Charlton arrive full of confidence after seeing off Cheltenham Town in the opening round, with Sonny Carey — last season’s top scorer — leading their attacking threat. Spurs, however, boast far greater squad depth and home advantage, with De Zerbi likely to rotate while still fielding enough quality to control the game. Given the class gap and the occasion, numbers point to a comfortable home win — most likely 2-0 or 3-1 to Tottenham, though Charlton’s cup pedigree means they won’t go down without a fight.

Likely Lineups
Tottenham Hotspur: Expect a rotated XI with fringe players and academy talents given a chance to impress, while De Zerbi keeps a few key starters involved to maintain control of the tie.
Charlton Athletic: Nathan Jones is expected to field a strong XI built around defensive solidity and quick transitions, with Carey central to any attacking threat on the counter.
