Tottenham Hotspur are out to quickly rebound from an abysmal performance against Brentford.

Spurs started their Premier League campaign in truly awful fashion, going down 3-0 to London rivals Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt were on target in the first half, with Michael Kayode netting early in the second period.

Things could have been worse for Spurs, but Igor Thiago saw a second-half penalty rebound off the post to ensure the damage stayed at 3-0.

Tottenham could use some much-needed momentum when they welcome Championship outfit Charlton Athletic to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup second round.

Here, Tottenham News has all the details of how fans not attending the game live can watch along at home.

How can I watch Tottenham's Carabao Cup with with Charlton Athletic?

After back-to-back 17th-place finishes in the Premier League, Spurs have been extremely active in the transfer market.

They have forked out big money to bring Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke to the club.

Spurs also drafted in Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.

Which is why there was so much disappointment about their performance against Brentford, and Roberto De Zerbi will be demanding much more.

Charlton had a big 2-1 win at recently relegated West Ham United last time out, though, and will have the bit between their teeth for another London derby that kicks off at 7.45pm UK time.

For any Spurs supporter not able to attend the game live, they can catch the game by using Sky Sports + and selecting the fixture as all Carabao Cup games will be shown on the platform.

What else do Tottenham need in the transfer window?

While the timing of the game does offer a good chance to quickly rebound from their Brentford humiliation, it does come amid a need for further transfer reinforcement.

De Zerbi is especially keen to bolster a forward line that looks very short of quality and depth right now, partly due to injuries.

Spurs are hopeful of adding Manchester City duo Savinho and Omar Marmoush in the coming days.

And there is a long-held interst in Cody Gakpo, though the fact he started and scored as Liverpool drew 2-2 with Newcastle United on Sunday suggests that remains a tough deal to get done.
