Hiddink expects key trio Oscar, Willian, Hazard to feature for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink expects Oscar, Willian and Eden Hazard to be available for the London derby against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Blues will travel to Selhurst Park to take on the Eagles, who are 11 points above them in the league table, and according to Hiddink the key trio should all be passed fit after battling recent injury worries.

"We had two tough games against Watford and Man Utd. The physical intensity was high in both games, but we didn't have big damage," Hiddink said.

"Oscar was a bit hurt after a challenge. Willian got some tackles, so did Eden. There was intensity in these games, but they have been recovering so they are okay."
