Guus Hiddink has never labelled himself the Special One but he appears to be doing what Jose Mourinho couldn't - making Chelsea a force to be reckoned with again.

Goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa secured a 3-0 win at Crystal Palace, a game that, on paper, had looked a tricky one.

Interim boss Hiddink, who guided Chelsea to third in the Premier League, a Champions League semi-final and the FA Cup in his first spell at the club, remains unbeaten since taking over from Jose Mourinho last month.

The Blues' four-match run without defeat is their longest this season and moves last year's champions to 14th in the league, still 13 points adrift of a Champions League spot.

Now then, we know you're busy folk and you like to plan your day, so here's what is coming up and when.

Day three of the second Test between England and South Africa kicks off at 08:30 GMT, while Andy Murray is back on a tennis court for the first time in 2016 from 09:30 in the Hopman Cup. Heather Watson is also in action.

Thought so.

We've also press conferences from Mark Hughes and Jurgen Klopp - Stoke meet Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday (it's Everton-Man City the following night).

And now, without further ado, a look at the Premier League, including a resurgent Chelsea...

I'd say happy new year and welcome to the first Sportsday of 2016 but we just haven't time. So I won't bother.

Loads going on today - League Cup semi-final press conference, Andy Murray's in action, England will continue to give South Africa a good walloping (nothing like tempting fate)...

...and, after we've had a look at the papers, there's the weekend's Premier League action to reflect on.

Strap yourselves in, here we go.
