Chelsea new boss, Guus Hiddink, has admitted that Nigeria international Odion Ighalo and fellow Watford striker, Troy Deeney, will be threats to his team when they clash in an English Premier League game on Boxing Day.
The Dutch tactician also said he has a lot of respect for Watford’s achievements in the Premier League so far, africanFootball.com reports.
Watford goes into the game on the back of four consecutive top-flight victories.
“I have a lot of respect for Watford. The team is very disciplined and have two very strong strikers in (Odion) Ighalo and (Troy) Deeney,” africanFootball.com quoted Hiddink as saying on Watford.
“The strikers are very dangerous and have shown that frequently this season.
“I have lots of respect for what Watford has done but hopefully things can go positively for us. We need a sequence of positive results.”
“Teams like Leicester, Crystal Palace and Watford are near the top of the league.
“That means all the teams can kill each other. You have seen the games for the last six months, any team can beat any other.”
