Chelsea face Watford in the fifth round of the FA Cup tonight with assistant Ray Wilkins in charge. New caretaker boss Guus Hiddink will be in the stands but will not take full control until Monday.

Scolari was sacked after just seven months in the job amid speculation that divisions within the squad helped quicken his demise.

Chelsea dropped 16 points at home under the World Cup-winning coach and crashed out of the Carling Cup on penalties to Coca-Cola Championship side Burnley.

The Blues slipped to fourth place in the Barclays Premier League after their goalless draw with Hull last weekend and owner Roman Abramovich acted swiftly to sack the Brazilian on Monday.

Terry maintains he was fully behind Scolari but the sacked Chelsea coach believes not all the players were behind the England skipper.

In an interview just days before his sacking, Scolari said: "I was supportive of him (Terry), of course. And I am sure two or three other players could say the same."

Scolari's comments were at odds with Wilkins who yesterday insisted there were no splits within the Chelsea dressing room.

"There's no player power here," said Wilkins. "We have to nail that. There's no player power at this club.

"The results haven't been what Roman wanted and that's why there's been a change of manager. Whenever any coach coaches a club as big as Chelsea, the players who don't play will be disgruntled, that's a fact.

"There are no splits whatsoever and we hope to show against Watford. You can only pick 11 players. It was very difficult for him because then you get a situation where people say the training methods are wrong.

"But every coach will have their different training methods and some players like them and some don't. But we don't have a split, none whatsoever.

"We have big players and they all want to play and it's been difficult for some of them to accept the fact they weren't selected.

"It's results. It was very strange because when we were winning fives and fours away from home the football was magnificent.

"But players somewhere along the line don't play as well as they should, form drops, form dips, that happens at every club.

"Somewhere along the line it's about responsibility. Some of it has to come down to the players, they have to raise their level."

Wilkins also denied that some of the players were still holding a candle for former boss Jose Mourinho.

"Jose bought some of them into the place and would have played under him elsewhere as well," said Wilkins. "Of course they will like the guy. Jose is a very nice fella. We all have favourite coaches and he might be the favourite coach of some of our guys.

"But they just got on with their job and that's what they are paid to do. It doesn't matter who coaches or in what method they coach, you are paid to train, keep your body in the best possible condition and play when selected."

Wilkins maintains the squad have to start playing with a smile on their faces again, starting against Watford tonight.

"It's not all doom and gloom," said Wilkins. "We're extremely talented and we have to start enjoying what we're doing.

"But we have to get back start playing proper football and put smiles on faces of the fans. The people who are hurting the most are the players and people working with the players."
