Tottenham Seek League Cup Bounce Against Charlton
Tottenham Hotspur host Charlton Athletic in the League Cup second round after a poor league opener and no European competition, with Spurs likely to rotate and seek a quick bounce-back. Charlton, coming off a strong start in the Championship, will view the tie as a chance to upset higher‑level opposition. A professional Spurs performance and progression are expected, though the Cup game could still offer a nervier test than a routine win.
