Match Preview
Guus Hiddink has urged Chelsea to turn their
recent good run into a "winning period", starting
with a tricky visit to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Chelsea are unbeaten in the three matches they
have played since Jose Mourinho departed the
club last month. Hiddink took a watching brief for
a 3-1 win over Sunderland, before seeing Chelsea
draw 2-2 with Watford and 0-0 against
Manchester United over the festive period.
Chelsea now make the short trip to Selhurst Park
and Hiddink, while praising the job done by
opposite number Alan Pardew, is keen to turn
draws into maximum points.
"Crystal Palace are doing well. Alan Pardew has
done a marvellous job in the period he has been
working there," Hiddink said. "If you look at the
statistics you have a team that has scored 23
goals in 19 games and just conceded 16 which
means he is well organised with his team.
"We have started gathering some points. It [the
draw with United] was the third consecutive
game we didn't lose but that's not enough. We
must come now in to a winning period of games,
that's important.
"You see how it is, all the big teams are losing
points as well. Nowadays it's very difficult and if
you see where our next opponent is in the table
they are close to the Champions League
positions. So it's not that easy now to have a
long-term winning sequence."
Chelsea need no reminding of the quality Palace
possess having been beaten 2-1 by Pardew's
men in August's reverse fixture, which was
Mourinho's 100th Barclays Premier League
match at Stamford Bridge.
That was one of nine league defeats that
contributed to the Portuguese's downfall, and
Palace also recorded a home win over Chelsea
as recently as March 2014.
Fifth-placed Palace are on a six-match unbeaten
run but Pardew still rates Chelsea - who are 14th
- as favourites to claim three points.
"Chelsea look like they have gone into a
controlled phase of making sure they are stable
in the league and will probably attack the cups,"
he said. "They looked a bit more assured against
Manchester United, so they are favourites for
this game. Having said that, we are difficult to
play at home at the moment."
Chelsea were forced to play without a recognised
striker versus United and although Diego Costa
returns from suspension Loic Remy (calf)
remains a doubt and Radamel Falcao (thigh) is
out. Centre-back Gary Cahill (ankle) should be fit,
though.
Pardew, meanwhile, will be without Dwight Gayle,
Bakary Sako, Yannick Bolasie, Connor Wickham
while Yohan Cabaye is suspended.
"We are really going to have to lean on our
fighting qualities that this team has," Pardew
added. "We want to hold on to our fifth place."
