David Seaman gives controversial Edouard Mendy vs Kepa Chelsea verdict ahead of Arsenal clash

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman thinks Chelsea will be at a big disadvantage without Kepa Arrazabalaga against the Gunners.

The Spanish shot-stopper has been in brilliant form since taking the gloves when Graham Potter joined the club but will miss the vital clash due to an injury to his foot sustained in the match against Brighton. Through a mixture of bad form and Potter's introduction - with the former Seagulls manager preferring a ball-playing keeper, Edouard Mendy has found himself out of contention in recent weeks.

The Senegal No.1 was brought in to replace Kepa under Frank Lampard and has been the undoubted first choice since 2020, his substitute appearance against Brighton was the first under Potter.
