Jose Mourinho says the EFL has forced his hand into which games he prioritises next week after Tottenham were handed a bye into the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Spurs will host Chelsea on Tuesday night as League Two club Leyton Orient were forced to forfeit their third-round tie after a spate of coronavirus cases meant the game could not go ahead.
