Premier League team news: Chelsea v Watford

Eden Hazard could be ready to face Watford at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea's first outing under new interim manager Guus Hiddink.

The Belgium midfielder missed last weekend's 3-1 Premier League win over Sunderland with a hip problem.

Hiddink is back for his second caretaker spell with the Blues, and hopes the 24-year-old could be fit in time to take on the Hornets.

Watford will have to make one change from the side which beat Liverpool last weekend when they head to Chelsea.

Full-back Nathan Ake is ineligible to play at Stamford Bridge as he is on loan from the Blues, so Ikechi Anya could return to the side.

Defenders Tommie Hoban (groin) and Joel Ekstrand (knee) remain sidelined through injury.

Provisional squads

Chelsea: Courtois, Begovic, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Zouma, Rahman, Ramires, Oscar, Falcao, Hazard, Mikel, Traore, Kenedy, Pedro, Remy, Costa, Matic, Willian, Cahill, Terry, Blackman, Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Djilobodji.

Watford: Gomes, Nyom, Cathcart, Britos, Prodl, Anya, Capoue, Jurado, Watson, Behrami, Deeney, Ighalo, Arlauskis, Guedioura, Abdi, Paredes, Diamanti, Oulare, Holebas.
