There is just an eight-point gap between Premier League leaders Arsenal and ninth-placed Tottenham, making the race for the top four wide open.
Samuel Eto'o picked up a muscle injury against Basel in the Champions League so if that rules him out for a while it will leave Mourinho with Fernando Torres and Demba Ba up top, so he may feel like he needs to enter the market. But both Torres and Ba are decent strikers so Chelsea are not in a desperate situation and because they only tend to play with one out-and-out striker anyway, losing one of your three to injury is not the biggest hit in the world. It is definitely something for Mourinho to think about, though, and things haven't been all plain sailing for him since he returned to Chelsea. But you do get the sense that he is really enjoying being back at Stamford Bridge and that the club - and the English game - is really close to his heart. I certainly like having him back because not only is a great character but he is top, top manager as well.
