Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has the fear of the opposition back on his side after scoring eight goals in his last six appearances.

After a period of four months, where he scored just two goals, Benteke has finally found his form under the guidance of Tim Sherwood and is looking to continue his scoring streak in the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool on Sunday.

"Now I'm playing without doubt, without limits," said Benteke. "I play like I used to play before.

"I feel really good. But I still think I can do more. Do I think people fear me again? Yes. The difference is now I am fit."

Next up for the Belgian is the Reds against whom he has scored four goals in five outings.
