Hiddink hails organisation of Leicester, Palace and Watford
Chelsea striker Diego Costa stole the show against Watford with a brace in the 2-2 draw.

Guus Hiddink has some fitness concerns ahead of Monday evening’s match against Manchester United, with striker Diego Costa’s suspension leaving him with only one senior striker available. For a game that massive, and with Chelsea desperate for points, this loss is obviously a huge blow. If so, then Eden Hazard would be a candidate after worrying Watford in his 15 minutes as a substitute, earning the late penalty from which Oscar should have won the game.
United need any help they can get right now.
A nightmare start to the season and what technical director Michael Emenalo described as “palpable discord” between Jose Mourinho and his squad presented Hiddink with the chance to return to the club he led to FA Cup glory as caretaker manager in the 2008-09 campaign.
“This league is a very intense league”. His first, when he replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari, went so well that numerous club’s fans wanted him to stay on a permanent basis, but there is little question the circumstances this time are more hard. As for Watford, they go seventh after another decent display.
Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien says the Blues were unlucky not to have beaten Watford in their clash with Watford in the English Premier League after the Ghanaian attended the game.
“We have a big game on Monday and we have to go there to try to win the game”.
However, this could have been a very different result and the impressive Watford showed that they are able to hold their own in the division.
Hiddink added: “If the team had not reacted then I would have said, “Phew, there’s a lot to do in the mental part of the game”.
But Costa was back to his bruising, brooding best with two classy finishes capping a dynamic display which would have earned three points had Oscar not skied a late penalty. ‘For me he is not top fit yet but very fresh in his mind, and that’s important, so he has also to get training and games’.
“That’s an experience that all players, not just him, have to overcome”.

“When we have a midfield with all creative players it’s attractive but sometimes you need a balance and I thought John Obi gave us that balance”.
