Chelsea boss Hiddink wary of Sanchez Flores' Watford

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is wary of tonight's opponents Watford.

Hiddink's first game back in charge of the Blues was our 2-2 Boxing Day draw against tomorrow's opponents, and he expects another difficult test when we travel to Vicarage Road.

"They have a very dangerous team and can score at any moment," said the Dutchman. "The strikers are very dangerous and have a very well organised team around them.

"Quique Sanchez Flores was my player and I know how he can construct a team and make them very solid and tough to beat. I go from one game to the next, if we carry on as we are doing in the last few games we'll be okay.

"My first experience in England was the FA Cup game against Watford in 2009. It was an easy game for Chelsea and we won with 60 per cent effort, nowadays it's impossible to think like that. It's grown a lot and the gap between the top clubs and the bottom clubs hasn't vanished but it's reduced."
