Who is starting in goal for Chelsea against Arsenal?
“Robert Sanchez will start against Arsenal, since we started the idea was not to change goalkeepers, but sometimes you have to modify and be flexible. Hopefully, we won’t have to change [our Premier League keeper] until the end of the season, but I have said many times we are quite happy with both keepers.”
He also spoke about Chelsea’s chances against Arsenal and the intention of his team going to the Emirates.
“We are not focused if [the gap] can be three or nine or six [to Arsenal]. We are just focused on how we can do our game, how we can try to beat them. Then, hopefully, we can do that and we can be closer to them.”
