Arsenal hero Wilson: Don't underestimate Ospina

Arsenal hero Bob Wilson regards David Ospina as the best second-choice goalkeeper in the Premier League.

The Colombian shot-stopper is set to play in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City tomorrow afternoon.

"Any goalkeeper is going to have a very busy afternoon playing against this current City team," Wilson told Sky Sports.

"I understand why Ospina will play but every goalkeeper is in that position where you are the muggins if you make an error and it would also come back on Wenger, arguably.

"He is not the first-choice in the Premier League but there isn't a million miles between him and Cech and I think he is a very solid goalkeeper.

"He is 100 per cent one of the best second-choice goalkeepers in the Premier League.

"The experience he has and the calmness when things aren't going is needed. He will be really up for it, he will know what is required and is likely to perform.

"It is one of the positives about Wenger that he will stick to his word and his word was that Ospina would play throughout this competition which will also give the goalie more confidence."
