Warning for Aston Villa as Didier Drogba vows to start shining again
"We are both quite intelligent players who know how to play together and create spaces for one another.
"It is a long time since he scored and then he scores three, three real striker's goals. I hope that will provide him with a boost, because the team needs him."
Blues midfielder Frank Lampard, meanwhile, insisted he has high expectations of working with Russia boss Hiddink - even suggesting he had already influenced the squad before officially starting work.
Hiddink was in the stands for the 3-1 win over Watford and visited the training ground at the end of last week prior to leading today's session.
Lampard believes the playing squad are already raising their games.
He told www.chelseafc.com: "He has cast his eye over training and the game and you can see a little lift in the lads trying to impress him, which always happens when a new manager comes in.
"I think he will be happy with the desire and spirit we showed at 1-0 down (against Watford) and some of the football we played on a difficult pitch was good. I am sure he is looking forward to working with us.
"I think I will enjoy working with him because we all know him as a manager, we know what he did before with other teams. We look forward to working with him."
Hiddink insisted when he arrived in London that the title was not out of Chelsea's reach despite falling far off the pace set by Manchester United, and Lampard has echoed those sentiments.
He added: "Aston Villa is massive because they are in front of us (in the Premier League).
"To still be in the chase we have to win the game.
"It is going to be tough but we have a lot of big players, a strong team and we can do it."
