Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has continued his war of words with Fulham boss Scott Parker.

Fulham are furious at having such short notice before being told they are playing Tottenham on Wednesday.

The game is rearranged after Spurs' clash against Aston Villa, which was meant to take place on this date, was postponed due to Villa's COVID-19 outbreak.

Parker felt he did not get enough preparation time, given his side played QPR in the FA Cup on Saturday and had no idea they would be playing in midweek.

The Spurs manager told reporters: "We played 11 more matches than Fulham since the beginning of the season. Eleven.

"Every week, we played three matches a week. We played in one week four matches.

"They played Saturday against QPR. In London. They have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to prepare for the game.

"If they come with half of the team, I will be the first one to apologise to them. And I will be the first one to say we played this game with an advantage. If they come with their best, I think they should apologise to all of us.

"We should see their team – their starting line up, their bench and the players not involved in the game – and after that we can all feel sorry for them," Mourinho continued.

"Or we can all think that they shouldn't speak. My feeling is just my feeling. It's that they will play with everybody. Maybe one player out. Maximum two.

"It's just a feeling that I have: the best Fulham will be here. So when we see the best Fulham, then you realise lots of things don't make sense."
