Arsenal are about to face Brighton in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Coach Mikel Arteta focused on the competition and atmosphere among the team's goalkeeping group at the pre-match press conference.

Arteta said that David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga's coexistence set an example for the team and made the goalkeeping position one of the most positive and united areas in the team.

At the press conference, Arteta said that he never designated who would be the starting goalkeeper in advance: "I never do that. Any player must win his position through performance. David has performed very well in the past few years. Kepa also knows this and he is ready to compete."

"If I had to name a role model for dressing room culture, I would say Kepa. He has won almost everything in football, coming here from big clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid. But every day he prepares for the most important training session of his life."

In addition, Arteta revealed that Kepa's professional attitude not only helped himself, but also indirectly promoted Raya's growth: "The connection between goalkeepers and the environment they have with the coach is very unique. Kepa has improved the overall training atmosphere and created a positive environment for everyone, allowing everyone to shine."

Asked if he would try a goalkeeper substitution during the game, Arteta did not rule it out: "We've had some injuries recently and a lot of substitutions have been forced. But if I feel it's the right decision, maybe I will do it.

Arsenal is currently facing a busy schedule, and Arteta pointed out that maintaining the form of the goalkeeping group and healthy competition are important factors for the team's stability.
