Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink 'encouraged' to maintain unbeaten run

Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink says that the team are 'encouraged' to continue their unbeaten run after stretching it to 11 Premier League games.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has claimed that the team are 'encouraged' to continue their unbeaten run after steering clear of a relegation battle.

The Blues were lingering close to the bottom three before Jose Mourinho was sacked in December, but since Hiddink's arrival, they have gone 11 games unbeaten in the Premier League.

The West London outfit are now 11th in the table, 12 points above the relegation zone.

"When I started in December we were close to the relegation zone, one point away," Hiddink told the club's official website. "Of course this club must have big objectives but it was a side objective to get away from the relegation zone as soon as possible.

"The team did well with draws and victories so in a relatively short time we've accomplished that in-between target. That encourages us to go on."

Chelsea will face Norwich City on Tuesday evening.
