GK – David Raya

The Spaniard had another comfortable evening against PSV, making some straightforward saves to keep his second consecutive clean sheet.

With Raya having started both in the Premier League and Champions League now, it seems clear that Aaron Ramsdale has been relegated to playing in domestic cup matches.


It’s a big call that manager Mikel Arteta has made but he clearly feels that Raya is the superior keeper and deserves to be the No.1.

The derby will be the 28-year-old’s biggest test so far, though, so we shall see how he copes.
