Hazard says he feels "200 per cent" fit, despite being rested in midweek by
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.
Hazard sat out the Blues' Europa League trip to Greece on Thursday, with
Sarri admitting the playmaker he told him he was tired.
The Belgium international returned to the starting line-up at West Ham on
Super Sunday but, although he and his team-mates failed to break the hosts'
resistance in a goalless draw, Hazard declared himself full of confidence.
Asked if he felt 100 per cent fit after a World Cup summer and a busy start
to the new season, Hazard told Sky Sports' Laura Woods: "I feel 200 per
cent!"
"(Sunday) was hard; I missed a couple of passes, dribbles but I feel good.
Confidence is up so I hope we can keep up our momentum to win games."
While Ross Barkley and Alvaro Morata missed chances for the Blues, Andriy
Yarmolenko spurned a fine headed opportunity late on and Hazard admits
Chelsea might easily have ended up on the losing side.
"We knew it was a difficult place to come and win," he said. "You can try
and play behind the lines - and with the quality we have we should do better
- but it's hard when they have men behind the ball.
"We could have won because we missed a lot of chances but we also could have
lost because they missed a lot of chances.
"We're not happy with the draw because we just want to win games but when
you see the chances they've had, I think we can be happy. A draw is a fair
result."
Chelsea's winning start might have come to an end but with still-perfect
Liverpool up next, Hazard praised Sarri's approach for bringing out the best
in his team-mates.
"I think this kind of manager is good when you like football," Hazard said.
"We try to keep the ball, we try to find solutions. We have good players and
we've brought in new players like Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic - players where
you need movement. We are all happy on the pitch.
"We just need to keep playing like we are. We are full of confidence at the
moment. Liverpool is the kind of game where you want to shine and we will, I
hope."
