Romelu Lukaku bullied Arsenal on his second Chelsea debut but is now fighting for his career as they meet again tonight... the £98m man must learn from Timo Werner and utilise Thomas Tuchel's tactical tweak to avoid the club's No 9 curse

Romelu Lukaku's days at Stamford Bridge may be numbered as the curse of the No 9 shirt as Stamford Bridge looks to claim another victim.

Lukaku made a sensational return to west London for a club-record £98million last summer and he initially hit the ground running, scoring four goals in his first four appearances under Thomas Tuchel.

One of those goals came against Arsenal - when Chelsea beat the Gunners 2-0 at the Emirates in August - and Lukaku will be looking to repeat the feat tonight when the Blues face their London rivals in the reverse fixture.
