Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman believes Chelsea missed Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal during Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
“At this moment, you’d rather face Mendy because he hasn’t played for a while,” Seaman told his own podcast Seaman Says ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge.
“Kepa has been playing really well, there’s no doubt about that. He’s been making some big saves.”
Seaman highlighted the quality of both and admitted he would watch with intrigue to see who Potter selects as his No 1 when both are fit.
“In both of them, you’ve still got two highly quality, international goalkeepers,” he added.
“I’ll tell you what’s going to be interesting is who plays when they are both fit. 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?”
