Antonio Conte admits he still rues his failure to guide Chelsea to FA Cup glory last season and has warned his players that it will be far harder to win the trophy this year.
Despite a difficult Premier League campaign, Conte's side are the overwhelming favourites to beat struggling Southampton in Sunday's semi-final at Wembley.
However, he knows that a far harder test will await in the final compared to the Arsenal side which faced them in the showpiece 11 months ago.
Chelsea had finished the season 18 points clear of their rivals from north London, whose task had been made even more difficult by an injury crisis which meant the ageing Per Mertesacker made his first start of the season in the FA Cup final.
