It is time for Chelsea’s players to prove they deserve a place on the Stamford Bridge pitch.
The Blues will lose their Premier League crown in a matter of weeks and the offseason is likely to bring a player clearance under the incoming Antonio Conte.
Ahead of their home clash with Manchester City this weekend, the gang at oulala.com have taken a look at how Pedro has fared under caretaker Hiddink, compared to his time under Jose Mourinho in the same number of games.

Even having played less time under the Dutchman, Pedro’s attacked output has skyrocketed over the second-half of 2015-16.
The former three time Champions League winner has netted five goals for Hiddink, compared to one in the 12 games with Mourinho at the helm. This has taken his minutes per goal ratio down from over 15 hours to two-and-a-half.
Pedro’s conversion rate has also increased from three percent to 33% and his shot accuracy from 25% to 70%.
It may have come late in the season, but it is improvement nonetheless for the 28-year-old and could sway whether Antonio Conte decides to stick with him next season.
