This event is for the upcoming EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) game, scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2026 between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Charlton Athletic FC.
Tottenham Hotspur host Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup second round at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 26, 2026. The Premier League side enters as heavy favorites due to the substantial gap in squad depth, technical quality, and resources against a newly promoted Championship opponent, even with expected rotation under Roberto De Zerbi. Spurs arrive motivated to respond after a 3-0 Premier League opening loss at Brentford but face multiple absences, including long-term knee injuries to Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski, and Wilson Odobert, plus thigh issues for Mohammed Kudus and a shoulder injury sidelining James Maddison. New signings such as Savinho and Mateus Fernandes provide fresh options, while Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro are available from the bench. Charlton, despite strong recent form with back-to-back Championship wins and a cup victory over West Ham, contend with their own injury concerns and the challenge of facing Premier League opposition away from home. Trader consensus reflects these structural and squad realities in the implied probabilities.
