Guus Hiddink has picked a strong Chelsea team for their FA Cup fourth round tie at Championship MK Dons today.

Captain John Terry, plus goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa all start.

Chelsea interim boss Hiddink said this week he welcomes the presence of owner Roman Abramovich at the club's training ground in times of stability, rather than turmoil.

Abramovich has been a regular visitor to the Blues' Surrey training base since December's departure of Jose Mourinho.

Hiddink has overseen a seven-match unbeaten run - Chelsea are eight undefeated since Mourinho's departure - including last week's win at Arsenal, which was a high amid a season of strife for the dethroned Premier League champions.

"Normally when big bosses come to the training ground, then it's a bad message," Hiddink said.

"They go there to punish or whatever. Every now and again, that happens in the past.

"But I've also invited my bosses - although they have the right to step in any minute - to come.

"Normally they say 'we don't want to bother, we don't want to come'.

"But I say 'no, it's your club, feel welcome to come to training'.
