Roberto Di Matteo does not feel under any greater pressure despite Roman Abramovich's latest visit to Chelsea's training ground.
"But we'll have to try to pick ourselves up and go again and try to win points in the Premier League now.
"I have to focus on my job and try to prepare the players and the team to the best for tomorrow's game."
Striker issues
After being allowed to rescue Chelsea's season in any way he saw fit last term, Di Matteo is now starting to encounter some of the problems that ultimately cost his predecessors.
One of those is a misfiring Fernando Torres, whose mini-revival is in danger of petering out at just the wrong time.
Daniel Sturridge has now been sidelined by a hamstring injury, leaving Di Matteo to sweat on the form and - more importantly - fitness of his only recognised centre-forward.
"I try not to worry about that," he said. "Injuries can happen to any players in the games, so I have ideas if anything happens. But we go into the game not thinking about injuries."
Di Matteo denied Chelsea had erred in ending the transfer window with only two recognised strikers.
"I think we signed a different kind of players that can score goals as well," he said. "And, as you can see, last season (Juan) Mata scored many goals for us and Eden Hazard scoring goals, Oscar scoring goals, (Frank) Lampard scores goals from midfield. So, we have goals in the team."
