19:03 - Hi everyone I am Danial Kennedy and welcome to VAVEL's coverage to Watford - Chelsea
Costa brought the scores level and had a great chance to take all three points but Oscar's wild penalty miss saw the two teams share the points.
Diego Costa gave the Blues the lead before goals from Troy Deeney and Gary Cahill own goal gave the visitors a shock lead.
The Blues have remain undefeated against Watford in the last nine meetings between the two clubs with the last defeat coming way back in 1999 but their last meeting on Boxing Day proved to be a difficult test.
Chelsea currently hold an excellent head-to-head record against their hosts and will be looking to extend that on Wednesday.
Suarez could be joined by Jose Holebas who can take the place of the ineligible Nathan Ake. However defenders Tommie Hoban (groin) and Joel Ekstrand (knee) will not feature.
Wednesday's clash could see the debut of Mario Suarez who made his £4m move from Serie A side Fiorentina during the January transfer window.
New signings of Alexandre Pato and Matt Miazga aren't expected to play against the Hornets, but should be ready to possibly make their debuts against either Manchester United or Newcastle United.
Willian is expected to overcome a bruised foot to join the 35-year-old but both Loic Remy (calf) and Radamel Falcao (thigh) will miss out.
The contest at Vicarage Road will be the beginning of the end for captain and club legend John Terry after it was announced that the club will not be extending the defender's contract beyond the end of the current season.
The game at the City Ground looked to be heading for a replay until substitute and top scorer Odion Ighalo proved his worth, as he struck home a late strike to send them into the fifth round and set them up perfectly for this contest.
They regained some confidence in their last league match after five matches without a win with a narrow 2-1 victory over Newcastle United and carried that into the Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest.
Many people expected for the Hornets to struggle under manager Quique Sanchez Flores but have impressed many - they currently sit in tenth and will be working towards the coveted 40-point mark in the coming weeks.
Hiddink's trip to the outskirts of the capital will not be made easy by Watford, who will be looking to continue their journey to guarantee their top-flight status.
Despite their good fortune so far Hiddink's biggest test so far since his return to Stamford Bridge still awaits when they take on French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 stage of the Champions League in a few weeks but for now the focus will be on the contest at Vicarage Road.
Their intentions turned towards the FA Cup as they took on MK Dons for the first time on Sunday n the fourth round of the competition. It proved to be an easy passage into the fifth round with goals from Eden Hazard, Bertrand Traore and a hat-trick from Oscar giving them the 5-1 victory.
After steadying the ship from his fellow Portuguese, coach Hiddink's slowly begun to turn the season around, as the club are currently on a streak of nine games unbeaten.
Chelsea will be looking to keep up their excellent record under interim manager Guus Hiddink. After their unstable start to the campaign, which ultimately saw the Jose Mourinho era brought to an end, the current Premier League champions have managed to gain some stability under returning interim manager Hiddink.
Good evening, and welcome to VAVEL UK's live minute-by-minute commentary of tonight's Premier League clash between Watford and Chelsea. Kick-off is set for 7:45PM, but stay with us until then as we get team news and more ahead of the game.
