Romelu Lukaku is handed his first Chelsea start in the Premier League for TWO MONTHS against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge... with the misfiring striker looking to end his month-long goal drought for Thomas Tuchel's side

Romelu Lukaku has been brought back into Chelsea's starting XI for their Premier League showdown with Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The Belgian striker, who has not scored a league goal in 2022, is making his first start for Thomas Tuchel's side since their 1-0 win away at Crystal Palace on February 19.

He has been deployed in attack alongside Timo Werner and Mason Mount, who will hope to help their misfiring team-mate end his month-long goal drought.
