Didier Drogba has warned Arsenal he is hungrier than ever to win the FA Cup and can't wait to be their nemesis again.

Chelsea take on Arsene Wenger's side in the FA Cup semi-final tomorrow with their main striker back to his best having struck eight goals in his last 10 games.

It makes grim reading for Arsenal, who have a number of injury problems at the back, because Drogba has scored seven goals in as many starts against them since he joined Chelsea in 2004.

The Ivory Coast international admits he has Guus Hiddink to thank for saving his season after he replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari (right) as manager in February.

Scolari left Drogba out of the team for long periods even after he had recovered from a knee injury but the striker insists he is now in great shape to help the Blues beat Arsenal. He said: "I have my energy back. The last two months my desire to play and win games has been very strong.

"I really missed playing earlier in the season and now I am really hungry to perform.

"Scolari leaving made a big difference to me and the team. I was given a chance to show I was not injured any more and that I was ready to help the team."
