The backpages of several papers run with a story perpetuating the Mourinho Meltdown narrative tomorrow. It’s reported that the Chelsea boss flew into a foul-mouthed expletive rant at Roberto Martinez in the tunnel after the 3-1 defeat at Everton on Saturday afternoon.
While not exactly the most damning incident in isolation, launching into a rant like this could be seen as another example of Mourinho losing control, in the context of Chelsea’s early season crisis.
With three defeats in the opening 5 games, it’s the worst start of Mourinho’s managerial career, leaving Chelsea cast adrift in the title race. See the papers after the cut..

Samuel Eto Set For Everton Medical Today
Samuel Eto’o appears to have found himself a new Premier League club after being let go by Chelsea this summer. Reliable Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claimed Samuel Eto’o will be an Everton man tomorrow, signing a two year deal at Goodison Park. This looks like a great move for Eto who remains keen on staying in the limelight in Enlish football. Eto made is impact for Chelsea last season by scoring some home valuable goals for the Blues including an hat-trick against Man United. This should be a minimum guarantee of 10 goals for Everton and addition of a wealth of experience.

EVERTON 2 ARSENAL 2: Arsene Wenger Proud Of Arsenal Come Back
Arsene Wenger praised Arsenal's character as they secured a 2-2 draw at Everton and avoided another Goodison Park nightmare on Saturday. Back in April, Arsenal were soundly beaten 3-0 on Merseyside in a result that looked at the time to have severely damaged their UEFA Champions League hopes although a late season rally ultimately helped them to pip Everton to the fourth and final qualification place.
On the back of their European exertions at Besiktas in midweek, the north London side looked set for a repeat as Everton raced into a 2-0 half-time lead thanks to goals from Seamus Coleman and Steven Naismith. But Wenger's men belatedly worked their way back into the game, as Aaron Ramsey continued his rich vein of scoring form to reduce the arrears in the 83rd minute and then Olivier Giroud headed them level in the final minute.

Arsenal Favours Roberto Martinez As Wenger`s Successor
Roberto Martinez has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager, according to an exclusive in the Daily Star. The Everton manager has seen his stock rise after his work at Goodison Park this season while impressing the Gunners' hierarchy with his style of football and the way he handles himself off the pitch.
The report claims that the dignified way in which he reacted to Everton's 4-1 defeat at the Emirates last weekend has only enhanced his credentials even further.
Hang on a minute, let's just get something straight first, Wenger is about to put pen to paper on a new two-year deal and any potential replacement for him will only arrive at the Emirates once that contract has run down.

CHELSEA 1 EVERTON 0: Roberto Martinez Blasts Mourinho Over Blues Unbeaten Home Run
Everton boss Roberto Martinez took aim at Chelsea's gamesmanship after their late, late 1-0 defeat on Saturday. John Terry’s stoppage-time winner came from a Frank Lampard free-kick that Martinez insisted should never have been awarded. And he also claimed that Chelsea’s record at Stamford Bridge is down to "more than playing well every week."
He said: "I thought in the second half it was an impossible job for the referee to get the right calls in dead-ball situations or around the box.
"We saw today why Chelsea are 74 games unbeaten at home. An incredible know-how. Using every single trick in the book to try to get advantageous positions.
