Who’s in and who’s out for Chelsea’s trip to Manchester United?
Just seven days earlier Spain striker Costa was booed by Blues fans angry at the performances which had resulted in Jose Mourinho’s sacking.
Costa put Chelsea ahead and salvaged a point after a Troy Deeney penalty and an effort from Odion Ighalo had put Watford ahead.
“You can say we can quickly get over this defeat by playing against Chelsea but in the time in between, you have to recover because the players have given everything”, he told MUTV. “I had plans to go on holiday but my partner looked into my eyes and said, ‘We are not going on holiday, we are going to London'”.
“I think this crowd is very loyal and also we must not deny what has happened recently”, he said.
Hazard, who limped away from Stamford Bridge after being fouled for the late penalty that Oscar missed, and Remy, who was an unused -substitute because he was carrying a knock, both face fitness tests.
But he will equally be glad to welcome back Costa into the starting line-up when Chelsea travel to Selhurst Park for their first Premier League fixture of the New Year.
Having worked with the Dutchman before, the midfielder believes Hiddink’s ability to connect with his players while demanding the maximum from the team will help the champions recover from their disastrous start to the campaign.
Hiddink added: “This crowd is a very loyal crowd but also we must not deny that they had the right to express themselves in a previous period”.
“In Holland, Memphis Depay was a star player at a young age”, he said. “They are much higher in the intensity of the game and that’s an experience all players, not just him, have to overcome. The team reacted well”. “But I want to see the team showing that ambition until it is mathematically impossible”.

“Also to finish the chances because we have been playing some good football but not getting the goals we deserve so that is one thing the manager will want to bring into the team”.
