Guus Hiddink Makes BIG Changes, Chelsea Likely Line Up For Watford

Costa was criticised for throwing his substitutes’ bib in the direction of Jose Mourinho during Chelsea’s goalless draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane on November 29, frustrated at remaining unused.

Chelsea have lost nine League games and he hope that era is already behind with the departure of Mourinho.

Owen was impressed by what he saw from Oscar during last weekend’s 3-1 win over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge, and the former Liverpool striker is backing the Brazilian to find the net against Watford.

Hiddink, however, has told his players to chase a top-four finish and automatic Champions League qualification as long as the mathematics allow.

Paddy Power are offering new customers enhanced odds of 7/1 on Arsenal to beat Southampton on Saturday.

“If you look back a bit to last season where there was this huge success in winning the title then of course you go into the next season and you have your targets, your aims and your aims are the same”, Hiddink said.

Hiddink, who led the club to the FA Cup in his opening spell at the helm back in 2009, reflected on the club’s poor form prior to his arrival and stressed it would not be easy to turn the situation around. If the target is impossible, don’t set it, but I did put that to them. “The target is, because mathematically it’s possible, to get in fourth position”.

Watford’s recent revival has seen them climb up to seventh in the Premier League table – one point off the top four – but, while many may be surprised, Flores knew the capabilities of his squad.

“He is always like a father figure to the team, speaking to the players individually, putting an arm around them and getting feedback from the team on what we think problems are and then trying to fix them”.

“It means that all the teams can kill each other”.
