This fella, Cesc Fabregas, was one of three Chelsea players who received pelters from his own fans last week, along with Oscar and Diego Costa.

The trio have been deemed to have not given their all under Jose Mourinho but regardless, were impressive in the 3-1 win over Sunderland.

How do you reckon they'll be received today by the Stamford Bridge faithful?

Former West Brom striker on Football Focus

"There is no doubt that Odion Ighalo can cut it as a Premier League striker. No doubt at all - just look at his goals. 

"His goalscoring form has been a key part of Watford's success but so has their defence. They've conceded just 16 goals, and a big part of that solidity is how their line starts high up the pitch. 

"When you play as a 4-4-2 one of the strikers has to drop into midfield to help out. Troy Deeney has been doing that better than anyone else in the league."

MOTD commentator at Stamford Bridge

"I'll be interested to see how the Chelsea crowd react to the new manager and particularly the players. 

"They gave certain players a tough reception last weekend but I don't expect the atmosphere to be as toxic. Oscar produced his best display of the season last weekend and Guus Hiddink will be hoping to get Diego Costa scoring again. 

"Talking of goals, Watford are not struggling to find the back of the net. 

"They've surprised plenty of teams this season already, in part because of their willingness to play two strikers. Perhaps the bookies will get a Boxing Day shock too - some have them at 7-1 to win on Saturday."

Watford boss Quique Flores: "It's tougher when a team have changed the manager. The team know that they need to show for the new manager. But we are ready for the experience.

"They play well and they have lots of experience and quality. We are expecting a very tough match.

"I had Guus for three years as a coach (at Valencia). I have a very good relationship with him, he is a very nice man.

"He's always thinking about the ball, about possession. He's worried about the players feeling free. It was 21 years ago - but things change."

....probably best to not try and apply any sort of logic to today's game.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink: "I spoke fully to the squad and of course we talked a bit about the past: why I'm here, the reasons why we are down.

"We cannot ignore what has happened in the recent past, but I asked them and told them to look in the mirror and be hypercritical and give the best for the team.

"They have to look forward. There must be a great desire to play, yes? If you don't have that desire, please knock on my door and we'll talk - we'll talk briefly."

This is what the last Chelsea starting line-up selected by Guus Hiddink looked like.

Goals from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard gave the Blues a 2-1 victory in the FA Cup final, after Louis Saha had scored a first-minute opener for Everton.

Michael Essien in midfield - how Chelsea fans, and their back four, must long for his screening presence these days.

Also, the abbreviated names of the grounds for both of these teams got me thinking. The Bridge and The Vic both sound like pubs, and as it's the season for the odd tipple, I wondered what other grounds sound like they could be boozers?

One change for Watford too after that demolition of Liverpool last week. Nathan Ake is on loan from Chelsea, so can't play. In comes Jose Holebas.  

Subs: Arlauskis, Prodl, Behrami, Anya, Guedioura, Berghuis, Diamanti.

Guus Hiddink makes just one change to the starting line-up for his first game back at Stamford Bridge.

Kurt Zouma is replaced by Gary Cahill in central defence. Eden Hazard has recovered well enough from a hip injury to be on the bench.

Subs: Begovic, Baba, Zouma, Mikel, Ramires, Hazard, Remy.  

It's been 2,402 days since Guus Hiddink last took charge of a Chelsea game.

That's 57,648 hours or 3,458,880 minutes or 207,532,800 seconds for anyone keeping count.

It was the 2009 FA Cup final on 30 May. Hiddink, having taken over from Luiz Felipe Scolari in February, led the Blues to a 2-1 victory over Everton at Wembley.

No idea who the fella stood next to him in the photo is. Wonder where he ended up?
