Tottenham host Charlton in the Carabao Cup second round on Wednesday evening as they look to recover from a 3-0 Premier League defeat to Brentford on the opening weekend.
Spurs were outplayed by Keith Andrews' side, leaving manager Roberto De Zerbi to admit his team were not yet a unit. Despite heavy summer spending, the new signings struggled, though £85million midfielder Mateus Fernandes offered some control from the bench in the second half.
Charlton's strong start
Charlton arrive in north London in fine form, having won all three of their matches in all competitions this season. Nathan Jones' side stunned West Ham at the London Stadium last weekend, and the Addicks will fancy their chances of another upset.
Standard Sport has identified three Charlton players Spurs must watch out for.
Tyreece Campbell
Tyreece Campbell has scored three goals in three games since signing a new long-term contract. The 22-year-old forward, who came through Charlton's academy and has made 173 first-team appearances, offers pace, directness and dribbling ability in transition.
Jones has called Campbell a “special talent” and believes he is now adding goals to his game. The Jamaican international will see this as a chance to shine on a big stage.
Lloyd Jones
Centre-back and vice-captain Lloyd Jones signed a two-year contract extension earlier this month. The 30-year-old played in all 46 Championship games last season and has scored in Charlton's opening two league matches, including an overhead kick against West Ham.
Jones is a no-nonsense defender who will protect his own box, but Spurs could exploit him if they force him to run back towards his own goal. However, aimless crosses into the box would play into his hands.
Sonny Carey
Sonny Carey is the creative hub of Charlton's midfield, linking defence and attack. The 25-year-old scored eight league goals last season and has started the new campaign in similar form.
With the pace of Campbell and the physicality of Myles Leaburn up front, Carey is the player who knits it all together. Charlton's best route to goal against Spurs will be in transition, and Carey will be key to progressing the ball and releasing Campbell on the break.
