Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been impressed with Aaron Ramsdale's work in training.
The 23-year-old was brought in this summer to compete with Bernd Leno for the number one goalkeeper spot.
Arteta told a pre-match press conference: "He's doing really good. He's training. He's a big competitor, someone that is really pushing in training sessions.
"We knew that when we made all the recruitment processes with the team. Now we have two very different goalkeepers, two different age profiles, two different qualities but both are really good. That's the thing that we should be aiming for."
Arteta also added that he hoped Bernd Leno was available for selection for Saturday's clash with Norwich City after being away with Germany during the international break.
"We are training later, just to prevent those things happening, because we had some issues in the past. Hopefully he will be on time and he will be counted to be available for Saturday."
