    Don’t worry, Southgate doesn’t pick players based on form.

    It’s interesting how all these 90s goalkeepers through their own egomaniacal lense suggested that having two capable goalkeepers at the club was a recipe for disaster, because earning your spot is reserved for all other players in the game.

    So far so good. I don’t know if you can keep both at the clubs for years if the pecking order becomes too established, but for this season it definitely seems they both accept it’s a dogfight.

    There are some suggestions of tactical flexibility as well, but I think they’re too similar, although there’s probably little differences between them that I don’t understand.

    • Asked about whether he’s concerned about losing his place in the England squad ahead of next summer’s European Championship due to a lack of action at Arsenal, Ramsdale responded:

    Yes, of course, it is the first time I have found myself in this situation.

    'The manager here [Gareth Southgate] is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin [Phillips] and Harry [Maguire] haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.

    But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’

    On his relationship with Raya, the former Bournemouth keeper continued: ‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.

    ‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’
