Arsenal are struggling to fill the stadium for today's derby against Chelsea.

The Gunners opened their campaign with a dismal performance in a 2-0 loss to Premier League newcomers Brentford last week.

And it seems apathy has set in amongst the fanbase, with large sections of the stadium still yet to be sold for Sunday's clash, per Arsenal's ticket website, reports The Sun.

It is possible many fans are expecting a loss to European champions Chelsea, despite Arsenal securing a league double over the Blues last season.

Arsenal strengthened this week with two big-money signings, with Aaron Ramsdale joining and Martin Odegaard returning following a successful loan spell in the second half of the season.

But even their arrival has not galvanised the supporters and the Emirates could look a little empty when Chelsea visit.
