Chelsea Will play their 1st home game against Reading season 2012-2013.Roberto di Matteo believes Eden Hazard’s impressive debut at Wigan on Sunday is just the beginning for the Belgian star.Hazard, a £32 million capture from Lille, grabbed two assists in the opening seven minutes in his side’s 2-0 win at the DW Stadium and Blues fans will get the chance to see the star in action tomorrow night when the west London club host Reading in the Premier League.Asked for his thoughts on Hazard’s debut, manager Di Matteo said: “He left his mark on the game.“In pre-season, he showed that kind of quality in training.“Now, in the Premier League, hopefully there’s more to come from him.”With fellow new signings Marko Marin sidelined by a hamstring injury and Brazilian Oscar having only arrived at Chelsea last week, di Matteo could name a largely unchanged side tomorrow evening.“It won’t be long for Marin, but it might not be before the international break,” di Matteo said.He added of Oscar: “We’re slowly looking to integrate him, like we did with the other new signings.“He’s not been long with us, so we need to give him the right time to get him used to his new team members and the team, and our tactics, and slowly put him into the team.”Of tonight’s team selection, the Italian, who delivered Chelsea’s first Champions League trophy last season, added: “Sometimes, you look at it and think: ‘Don’t change a winning team,’ but it doesn’t always work this way.“We’ll see for tomorrow. I haven’t made our final decision yet. I have to think about it.”Reading were held 1-1 by Stoke in their first match back in the Premier League and one man hoping for a much-improved performance from that match is Royals keeper Adam Federici.The Aussie keeper was left red face after he let a tame shot from Stoke City’s Michael Kightly slip through his hands.“I’m very hard on myself. I don’t make those mistakes in training let alone games so I’m a bit embarrassed. I’ve been dreaming about playing in the Premier League for a long time so I’m taking it hard,” he said.The Italian coach warns his Chelsea side against complacency when they meet Reading. Ramires Could be a possilble return as he recovers from illness and could be back says RDM.
