Hiddink: Chelsea still aiming to win trophies this year

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has set his players the target of chasing an unlikely double and fourth spot in the Premier League.

The Dutchman takes charge of the champions for the first time in his second stint in charge in their Boxing Day clash against Watford at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are struggling in 15th in the Premier League, sitting just three points clear of the relegation zone.

But Hiddink said his meeting with the players had set trophy targets and a top-four finish, despite being 11 points adrift of Tottenham.

"Generally, I set targets. The target is, because mathematically it's possible, to get in fourth position," he said.

"To do that, we have to be exclusively good. If the target is impossible, don't set it, but I did put that to them.

"Then the Champions League; and then the FA Cup. There are three targets still to go for.

"On top of that, or as a foundation of that, the players must show now what they're capable of."
