Jose Mourinho's Tottenham won't have to use 'pigsty' facilities at Stoke

Jose Mourinho can take some comfort from the fact that his Carabao Cup date in Stoke will not involve a visit to the dressing room branded a 'pigsty' by furious Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock.

It is one less concern as he tries to stop the form slump of two wins in seven games and end Tottenham's 12-year wait for a trophy.

Mourinho received a video last week, secretly filmed by a friend at another club, warning him of the poor state of temporary facilities awaiting him at the bet365 Stadium.

When Boro lost at Stoke in the Championship, on December 5, Warnock complained about the portacabin his team used a dressing room, claiming there were blocked toilets, water on the floor and faulty showers and fumes coming in from an engine outside.
