Guus Hiddink admitted Chelsea faces a possible relegation battle.

With Everton, Arsenal, Manchester United, and a top-10 Watford side rounding out their next four opponents, Hiddink is a bit unnerved about Chelsea’s situation.

“It’s reality,” Hiddink said of relegation in his pre-match press conference. “We have two difficult games coming up. If you don’t gather points there, you don’t know what the others do. The Premier League can surprise you.”

Jose Mourinho disputed the notion Chelsea would have to fight to prevent relegation before his dismissal.
