Fourth place still achievable for Chelsea says Hiddink

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has backed John Terry's claims that a top-four finish is still a possibility for the Blues.

Terry has suggested that the West London club are capable of achieving fourth place come the end of the season.

Following Sunday's 1-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, the 13th-placed Blues are 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham and are eyeing a big second half of the season.

Hiddink said: "If the captain says yes then we follow the captain!

"It's a gap but if you see the results in the Premier League, how competitive all the teams are, it's unpredictable which means all teams can beat all teams.

"With the gap it's difficult but when the captain says that I will follow my captain."
