Ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final clash between Chelsea and Liverpool, there is a debate as to which of his two competing goalkeepers Thomas Tuchel will select.
Edouard Mendy has been Chelsea’s number one ‘keeper, pretty much since he arrived in September 2020, ostensibly to replace the bereft of form and confidence Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Thomas Tuchel has been frank in the media in terms of the goalkeeping hierarchy at Chelsea. Having selected Mendy ahead of Kepa for the recent Club World Cup final, he said of Kepa: "He is so good in training and in the games. He could be the number one, yes, he is not because we have Mendy and Edou is our number one."
