Blues braced for Shearer effect

GUUS HIDDINK has warned Chelsea they will face a revitalised Newcastle following the appointment of Alan Shearer as the club’s temporary coach.

Hiddink has suffered twice at the hands of Shearer the player and the Dutchman expects him to lift the relegation-haunted Magpies when he takes charge of the side for the first time today.

Shearer was among the scorers when England beat Hiddink’s Holland at Euro ‘96 and he also netted as Bobby Robson’s Newcastle knocked PSV Eindhoven out of the UEFA Cup five years ago.
