Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says it is important his goalkeepers have clarity, after he confirmed that David Ospina will start between the sticks in the EFL Cup final on Sunday.
Ospina has been playing in cup competitions for the Gunners, while Petr Cech mans the posts in Premier League duty.
And Wenger is not about to change tack now, despite Arsenal having a meeting with Manchester City for the first piece of domestic silverware of the season.
While the Frenchman admits it was a difficult call to make, he feels it is important his goalkeepers have clarity and know he will stick to what he says.
"It’s always a difficult decision, but I think they are clear about that. Since the start of the season, it’s clear", Wenger told a press conference.

"He played in the whole competition.
"I have two world-class goalkeepers and I decided from the start on to have clarity in the games they play.
"I maintain that."
Ospina, 29, has made eleven appearances for Arsenal across all competitions so far this season, keeping six clean sheets in the process.
He will again be in action on Thursday evening when the Gunners welcome Swedish side Ostersunds to the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie.
Arsenal won the first leg 3-0 in Sweden.
