Mario Cortegana of The Athletic reports that Kepa Arrizabalaga will start in goal for Arsenal in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.
Kepa has been first choice in this competition all season, playing every match, including the penalty shootout win over Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals.
Despite David Raya being the number one goalkeeper in the Premier League – where he has had another outstanding season – Mikel Arteta has remained loyal to Kepa in domestic cup matches.
This decision is seen as a reward for loyalty and continuity, with Kepa having shown confidence in direct elimination matches.
Rayo’s world-class form in the league has received widespread praise, but Arteta seems determined to keep the same goalkeeper who led Arsenal to the final in goal.
We remind you that the match between Arsenal and City will start at 17:30.
