Tottenham vs Charlton LIVE: Carabao Cup latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction
Tottenham vs Charlton LIVE PA Arthur Ferridge , Sports Reporter @ ArthurFerridge | Sam Tabuteau at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just now Tottenham vs Charlton LIVE
Roberto De Zerbi faces his first cup match of the season tonight as Tottenham host Charlton in the second round of the Carabao Cup . The Italian is under a bit of pressure to get it right today after his new-look Spurs stumbled in their Premier League opener, suffering a 3-0 humbling away at Brentford. It has been a summer of uncharacteristically heavy investment for Spurs, and this fixture against Charlton should give them a good chance to get minutes and the legs and continue building relationships.
There could be a debut for Savio, the latest arrival in north London, after his transfer from Manchester City was confirmed on Tuesday. He has been registered in time for this match, but it remains to be seen whether he will get the chance to introduce himself to the Tottenham faithful.
The Carabao Cup third round draw, where a number of Premier League sides will discover their next opponents, will take place this evening as well and is expected to get underway at around 10.30pm BST.

37mins: The home support are starting to get restless here. Hardly surprising given Tottenham have had 74 per cent possession and generated just 0.27xG, having failed to capitalise on five corners.
35mins: This latest corner comes all the way out to Tel, whose ambitious half-volley sails high, wide, and off into the stands.
34mins: Moore wins yet another corner for Spurs. They have to make one of these count, sooner rather than later.
33mins: McNamara is toeing the line now. He catches Tel with a cheeky trip and earns himself a scolding from the referee.
29mins: Tel has just been bundled into touch by McNamara, and the Frenchman collides awkwardly with the advertising hoardings. He appears to be nursing a sore shoulder afterwards, but seems fine to carry on.
30mins: Two Spurs shots go begging! Solanke sees one blocked, before Gray’s first-time follow-up is tipped round the post by Brooks. The resultant corner is well cleared.
Charlton growing in confidence here and they now test Kinsky with a rasping drive from Docherty. Spurs not having it all their own way despite the away side’s enforced changes.
26mins: Docherty calls Kinsky into action with a curling effort from the edge of the box. He makes the necessary stop, and Charlton have another corner.
The Addicks pull out a training ground routine, which is headed narrowly wide.
25mins: Appears it was Van Hecke who got his head to that free-kick to clear the danger.
