Chelsea travel to bitter London rivals Tottenham on Thursday night in the Premier League – and some Spurs fans on Twitter have admitted in the build-up that they are worried about the threat of Blues attacker Timo Werner.
The two teams are currently locked together on 33 points in the league table, albeit Spurs are above in sixth on goal difference and have also played a game less.
Chelsea go into the fixture off the back of four points in Thomas Tuchel’s first two games in charge as manager at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Spurs have lost back-to-back league matches.
A selection of their supporters on social media are convinced that Blues star Werner will break his goalscoring duck against them.
Werner, 24, hasn’t scored in the league since a goal against Sheffield United back on 7 November.
The German forward watched from the bench in Tuchel’s first match in charge against Wolves, but did complete 90 minutes at the weekend in the win over Burnley.
He’s a versatile attacker that can play various positions in the final third, but he’s yet to recreate the kind of form that saw him scored 95 goals in 159 appearances for RB Leipzig.
His confidence in front of goal is low right now, but he did net against Spurs when the teams met in the Carabao Cup in September.
