Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink pleased with Diego Costa’s reaction to boo boys

I thought I’d performed, but I threw off my armband and threw it at him, saying ‘you make a new captain’.

Steelers playoff scenarios: How Pittsburgh can clinch today
And it’s still not going to be enough: They need help from the Bucs against the Bears and the 49ers against the Lions . The Chiefs more realistically can win the division by winning one more game than the Broncos over the next two games.

United, who remained in the hunt for the title until recently, now find themselves in sixth place in the Premier League standings although their woes this season remain nothing when compared to the problems at champions Chelsea this term.

Kaufman is urging everyone that is moving to higher ground to be sure and close all the windows and doors in their homes first. The fire is less than 10 percent contained and it will take at least three days to get it under control, fire officials said.

“I like this mentality but I say to them that a draw is a good result because Chelsea played really well”.

He will consider promoting Russell and/or Randle again in January, at the conclusion of the Lakers’ seemingly monthlong road trek. That’s how I have confidence out there that I can play at a high level every night. “So that was encouraging”.

Hiddink had told the former Atletico Madrid striker to channel his emotions in the right way if Chelsea are to salvage something from the wreckage of this season.

Costa, though, struck again nine minutes later to restore parity and the Blues had a chance to claim all three points at the death when they were awarded a penalty, but Oscar slipped as he took the spot-kick and the ball flew over the crossbar.

Chelsea are in a mess, their confidence looks very fragile and you can’t help but wonder how Cesc Fabregas will be feeling about being hauled off at half-time.

Watford were gifted a way back into the game before half-time when Nemanja Matic needlessly handled in the box and Troy Deeney dispatched the penalty. The circumstances now play a bigger role and will in the next game also. “I am looking forward to it”. It’s the same with info. When I feel a player is not having this desire, then he’s not of any worth to us.

But defeat would have been tough on seventh-placed Watford.

Quique Sanchez Flores admits he might struggle not to call Guus Hiddink “boss” when they meet on the touchline at Stamford Bridge.

“The experiences I have had when coaches managed me and then I manage against them is always amusing”. The secret is the atmosphere between players and staff.

“There’s experienced players, new players, players who have never played in the Premier League before, who all want to show our qualities”.

Chelsea probable starting XI: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Matic, Mikel, Pedro, Willian, Hazard, Remy.
