Mikel Arteta news

Kepa starts in goal for Arsenal vs Man City

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has already picked his starting goalkeeper for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City this evening.




The Gunners face off against the Cityzens at Wembley Stadium and ahead of the game, Arteta has already made a big decision at the back.

Kepa Arrizabalaga has been the Gunners' starting goalkeeper in the Carabao and FA Cup matches this term, and he will continue between the sticks.

There have been calls from some fans to start David Raya for the final, but Arteta has decided to keep his trust in Arrizabalaga today.

The Spaniard has kept three clean sheets in the League Cup campaign and faces a massive challenge against Pep Guardiola's side.

Unlike Raya, Arrizabalaga has been susceptible to some poor decision-making in the box and must avoid errors against Man City.

Arsenal are aiming to win their first piece of silverware since the 2020 FA Cup final when they beat Chelsea by a 2-1 scoreline.
