Arsenal keeper Petr Cech is confident his luck will reverse after failing to save any of the nine penalties he has faced since joining the Gunners in the summer of 2015

"There are probably goalkeepers who just decide prior to the kick, I go right. I don't know, because everybody can have a slightly different approach to it," he told the Arsenal Weekly podcast.

"But my approach has been working, until this season, quite well. But unfortunately the players keep their calm and manage to score against me this season. So hopefully there will be a moment when it reverses."

Cech's career return has been 16 saves for 66, meaning 24 per cent of penalties taken against him have been denied – excluding those taken in shootouts.

Cech added: "You see the way they take the ball, how far they go off the ball; you can see whether they will shoot strong or whether they will place the ball.

"I never make a decision, 'OK I go left. However the player runs, I go left.' No. The decision is, you [consider] the probabilities, you see the way the situation goes, but in the last split second you read what the player tries to do. And that's when you make the final decision, is that split second."
