Some Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Arsenal defender Ben White will miss the Premier League game against Thomas Tuchel’s side today.

What’s the story?

The Athletic are reporting that Arsenal central defender White will not play in the London derby against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium today.

The former Brighton and Hove Albion central defender is reportedly ‘unwell’ and is ‘unavailable for selection’.

White joined Arsenal from Brighton for £50 million in the summer transfer window and played against Brentford in the Premier League last week.

What are Chelsea fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Chelsea fans think that with White reportedly out, the Blues will win the London derby with ease.

Well some of them anyway.

White struggled against Brentford striker Ivan Toney last week.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is likely to lead the line against Arsenal today.

With the former Leeds United loanee reportedly out, Lukaku will feel more confident of banging in a goal or two against Arsenal.

It will be interesting to see how Arsenal line up against Chelsea today.

It promises to be a very interesting and intriguing game of football.
