Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt says it'd be wrong to write off Chelsea's title challenge after the arrival of new manager Guus Hiddink.

He said: "Hiddink is a very clever manager. He has shown that with club sides as well as different international sides.

"He has a lot of qualities and I am a bit afraid of Chelsea now! They won't give up, they are still in the race for the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League, although a trophy will be difficult for them now."
