Mikel Arteta WILL follow through on his bold claim of substituting his goalkeeper late in games for tactical reasons, CHRIS SUTTON predicts on Mail Sport's 'It's All Kicking Off' after he dropped Aaron Ramsdale for David Raya

Chris Sutton has praised Mikel Arteta for being 'forward thinking' and backed the Arsenal manager to follow through on his substituting his goalkeeper during a match.

Arteta dropped Aaron Ramsdale to the bench for Arsenal's weekend Premier League win over Everton and handed former Brentford shot-stopper David Raya his debut for the club.

The selection decision spurned plenty of debate over who is Arsenal's number one with the Gunners boss suggesting he will substitute goalkeepers in the future because he 'cannot have two players like this in one position and not play them'.
