Seaman: The Chelsea keeper Arsenal strikers would prefer to face

Arsenal hero David Seaman admits he rates Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga ahead of Edouard Mendy.

Mendy will face Arsenal tomorrow with Kepa out due to injury.

Seaman admitted that not having Kepa fit will be a big blow.

“At this moment, you'd rather face Mendy because he hasn't played for a while," he said on his own podcast. “Kepa has been playing really well, there's no doubt about that. He's been making some big saves.

“In both of them, you've still got two highly quality, international goalkeepers.

“I'll tell you what's going to be interesting is who plays when they are both fit," continued Seaman. “When Kepa comes back, what happens? He only came in because Mendy got injured. So is it now a chance for Mendy to keep the gloves, or does he bring Kepa back in?"
