Time for Arsenal’s luck to even out against Chelsea?

“There have been half results, we want full results”.

“He has been well-prepared by the physio until two days ago when started to participate with the team”, Hiddink said about Hazard.

Hiddink added: “He [Costa] was in yesterday”.

The Belgian was injured just before Christmas during Jose Mourinho’s last game in charge at Leicester City. After eight years here this is my home and there is no other place I would rather play football.

And the Southampton manager wants that replacement to be him, declaring in an interview with Dutch radio station Radio 538: “If Guus puts a good word in for me, that would be a big influence”. It’s another game where people look at us and see how we behave.

“Surprisingly the team was very resilient, they showed enormous mental power, thats why we got that result”.

Manager Guus Hiddink, who urged Hazard to prove his fitness in training this week after missing the team’s last three matches, will now consider the reigning Footballer of the Year for the London derby.

“We have to be careful as he’s fallen into injuries recently”.

Ivanovic said: “I am very happy to stay with Chelsea for another season”.

“We have to focus on our performance”.

“We tried to hide them, which he did not accept. We tried to make them a little bit slippery, but he discovered that also”. The focus is on what he is good at and he is doing that.

Hiddink has won just one League game since taking over last month and admits the two clubs are now poles apart.

Asked whether the level of the rivalry remains, Hiddink said: “Not at this moment, not in this league”.
