Arsenal vs. Chelsea: Key Takeaways from Guus Hiddink's Pre-Match Presser

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink admitted he is "not fully satisfied" with the results his team have thus far earned under him and called for his side to perform at their best when they face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Per football writer Miguel Delaney, he said at his press conference ahead of the game:

According to Matt Lewis of getwestlondon, he added:

"

The team will give their utmost to get the result but it’s a bit different to in the past. 

When you start, you want to have the results immediately. 

We had a result in the FA Cup but we want full results all the way through. 

There’s not much patience. You cannot say now that we come back in four weeks, we have to perform now.

"

Hiddink insisted the club are focused on looking up the table despite being just four points above the drop zone, per Lewis: "We don’t talk much about that but if you see the statistics you are closer to that line than the line for the Champions League positions. I’m not a person who denies the facts. That doesn’t mean we are looking down, we have to look up."

The Dutchman also gave the latest team news for the match. According to Lewis, he said of Eden Hazard:

"

He was in the team, well prepared until two days ago by the physios and then he started participating in the team.

In the last two days he was in full training. He’s available. 

We have to be careful as he’s fallen into injuries recently. I’m not sure whether he can play a full 90 minutes.

"

Diego Costa will also be available, per Delaney:

Hiddink praised the Spaniard's impact in recent matches and called on him to maintain his focus, per Lewis: "In the latest games he was of big worth to us. The focus is on where he’s good at. We can make no guarantees because we are not dealing with machines. When he’s focusing on things in the box then he’s of great value."

On the latest rumours linking Chelsea with the likes of Alexandre Pato and Alex Teixeira in January, as noted by Lewis, the boss would not be drawn into discussing them: "I’ve been in the club in 2009 and now and we’ve been in contact regularly. If I can be of any help I will be. When the window is open, my mouth is closed."

On Sunday's opponents Arsenal, he said: "Arsenal is doing very well. They’re making a good battle for the first position. Chelsea is well down under, in this moment. That’s the reality. They have a very broad selection, not just the first XI."

The Gunners are currently leading the race for the Premier League title but have been held to draws in their last two games.

According to the Mirror's Will Magee, Arsenal have a promising record against the Blues when Jose Mourinho is not in charge, so Chelsea will need to put in a strong performance if they're to earn a win on Sunday.

Hiddink's side have drawn in four of their last five league outings, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they're able to hold the Gunners to a stalemate at the Emirates.
