David Raya knocking Aaron Ramsdale off his pedestal?

David Raya replaced Aaron Ramsdale at the weekend and a big question for Mikel Arteta going forward concerns the identity of his first-choice goalkeeper.

Ramsdale did a solid job for Arsenal last season but was not infallible and Raya could be seen as the fashionable choice.

Would Ramsdale settle for the rotation? Who would you favor for the Premier League and the Champions League?

Good evening!

Hello and thank you for joining us on Mail Sport for our Arsenal vs PSV live blog.

The Gunners’ last appearance in the competition was an upset as they suffered a 5-1 defeat at home to Bayern Munich in March 2017. In a 10-2 aggregate defeat in the round of 16. Ouch.

But that was then, and Mikel Arteta has come a long way since that dark day. From now on, optimism invades the Emirates, dreams of titles and glory. Youth blends perfectly with experience and Arsenal could continue their deep run this year.
