GUUS Hiddink assured Chelsea fans that the Blues would do everything in their power to beat Premier League title-chasers Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea fans chanted for their team to sink Spurs during their 4-1 victory against Cherries at Vitality Stadium.

The Blues will surrender their league title to either Tottenham or Leicester in the coming weeks and the club's supporters are desperate for rivals Spurs not to claim the crown.

Cesc Fabregas conjured two goals for fit-again Eden Hazard and laid on strikes for Pedro and Willian in a virtuoso display, leaving interim boss Hiddink mightily impressed and pledging Chelsea will not let down their fans against Spurs.

"I didn't hear what the fans were singing because I was so focused on the game,'' said Hiddink, with Chelsea hosting Spurs at Stamford Bridge on Monday week.

''But we play the next game to win. And the next game is Tottenham.

''At the end, the strongest team will win the league.

''And the strongest team is who deserves the league as well.

''Of course, we desperately wanted to win this game here today.

''We've got nothing at stake really and we talked about that in the week.

''But we don't want, as Chelsea, that the season fades away. And the players responded very well.

''It was not a summer evening game, it was an intense game, and that's what it's all about.

''Then of course we go into the next few games where nothing effectively is at stake for us either.

''But if you play the way we played today then it's a guarantee that the team will do everything in our power to go for the win.

''In terms of attitude they will do everything until the end of the season, and of course you know our schedule and the next game is Tottenham.''

Fabregas' stellar performance masked Chelsea's defensive frailties caused by Gary Cahill's illness.

With John Terry still battling Achilles trouble and Kurt Zouma out for the long term with knee problems, Hiddink chose to deploy midfielder John Obi Mikel at centre-back instead of recognised defender Matthew Miazga.

Mikel and Branislav Ivanovic were shaky in the extreme in a first half as Bournemouth wasted a hatful of chances.

Hiddink preferred to focus on Fabregas' match-winning showing and also hailed Belgium forward Hazard on his return from hip and groin trouble.

''Cesc was enjoying it very much and he's one of the few players who has this vision, very fast,'' said Hiddink.

''He knows when he's on the ball he can execute what he's thinking and creating. There's not many players who can do that.

''And we know when, we practise that, we know when he's on the ball that we have running players to get his very, very fast vision play effective.

''And that's important.

''There were some decent games, but this is one of Cesc's best.

''We worked with Eden Hazard the last 10 days with the group and he enjoyed the game. We thought he would get 45 minutes, but he was enjoying it so much he could complete the game.

''That's a good sign of the spirit of the team.''
