Epl: Chelsea Vs Watford Dec 26 @ 4:00pm by pamcode(m): 2:20pm On Dec 25, 2015
Match Preview
Guus Hiddink hopes Eden Hazard can inspire a Chelsea revival ahead of the first match of his second spell in charge against Watford.The 69-year-old Dutchman has been brought in to oversee a salvage job at Stamford Bridge after this season's disappointing Barclays Premier League title defence under Jose Mourinho resulted in a parting of the ways between the club and the Portuguese.Last week's 3-1 win over Sunderland, undercaretaker manager Steve Holland, has eased scarcely believable concerns over relegation in west London.But Chelsea will now look to climb their way towards more familiar ground by stringing together a run of positive results and Hiddink believes Hazard has a vital role to play.The Belgian playmaker swept the board in the end-of-season awards last term after numerous sublime performances during Chelsea's BPL triumph.His fortunes have declined as rapidly as his team-mates this time around, though, with the 24-year-old yet to find the net in 16 league appearances."He had a terrific season last year and it’s normal to have a little setback," Hiddink said at Wednesday's pre-match news conference. "He can be a key player when he is with the Belgium national team, but also here he can be a key player when he gets back in shape."He was unlucky to be injured recently but with him he needs to get that eagerness toperform back."Hazard hobbled out of the 2-1 loss to leaders Leicester City that ultimately concluded Mourinho's second coming at Chelsea, although he has now recovered from his hip problem.The similarly off-colour Radamel Falcao is the only remaining absentee for Chelsea due to a muscle injury, denying him a reunion with former Atletico Madrid manager Quique Sanchez Flores.Flores has steered Watford to seventh place in the table on a highly impressive top-flight return by the club.They are aiming for a fifth consecutive BPLwin when they travel to Chelsea and centre-back Craig Cathcart reports that confidence is understandably riding high after last weekend's 3-0 victory over Liverpool."No matter who we play against, as long aseveryone keeps doing their jobs, then there's no reason why we can’t keep picking up wins over this Christmas period," he told the Watford Weekend Preview Show.Watford entertain Tottenham Hotspur on Monday and Cathcart added: "We know Chelsea are a top team with quality playersall over the pitch, and with a new manager coming in it might give them a fresh impetus to perform."So we will be going there expecting an extremely tough game, but we're confidentwe can pick up a result and hopefully that's what we'll do."Cathcart's fellow defender Sebastian Prodl could feature for the first time since October following a calf problem, althoughlong-term victim Joel Ekstrand (knee) is targeting a new-year return.Chelsea (from):Begovic, Blackman, Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Djilobodji, Ivanovic, Rahman, Terry, Zouma, Fabregas,Hazard, Loftus-Cheek, Matic, Mikel, Oscar, Ramires, Traore, Willian, Costa, Kenedy, Pedro, Remy.Watford (from):Arlauskis, Gilmartin, Gomes, Ake, Belkalem, Britos, Cathcart, Hoban, Holebas, Nyom, Paredes, Prodl, Abdi, Anya, Behrami, Capoue, Dyer, Guedioura, Jurado, Watson, Berghuis, Deeney, Diamanti, Ibarbo, Ighalo, Oulare.

Watford is the most recent inform team in the league i.e winning four on a row.








Verdict: Chelsea are still struggling despite having won last week. A victory will really help their progress but Watford have shown that they can make it hard for the big boys. 1-1.
