The Chelsea loanee has not made any distinguishing performances since joining the Cherries this season, his starting slot may be under threat from Mark Travers who put in three assertive performances in the prior games while the Spaniard was out with a thigh injury.

Impact Kepa surprisingly did not have much to do Saturday in an encounter with Arsenal where he faced only one shot on goal. From his five appearances since joining as a loanee from Chelsea this was his first clean sheet. He will be challenged to deliver another in the Cherries next which is away to in-form Aston Villa. The Villains put three past Fulham in their last and have not lost in their last six.

Concedes one in loss to Foxes Arrizabalaga recorded one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Kepa was not called into action much on Saturday. He faced just two shots on target and the conceded goal was a well taken strike that he could do little about.

Impact Kepa was not overstretched in Monday's game. One of his two saves took extraordinary skill but other than that his performance was pretty pedestrian. The conceded goal was not down to an error on his part. The Spaniard, who joined the Cherries on loan from Chelsea in August, played well in his previous two games. He is yet to post a clean sheet but he might get an opportunity to change that in Bournemouth's next against Leicester. The Foxes have yet to win a match this season.

Impact Kepa had direct responsibility in Liverpool's first goal, as he tried to rush out of the box in a long ball from Ibrahima Konate, but he was left out of the sequence midway through his attempt to close Luis Diaz down. Kepa didn't have a lot of responsibility in the other two goals he conceded, but it's worth noting that Bournemouth could've lost by a bigger margin hadn't it been for him. Arrizabalaga will try to bounce back against Southampton on Sep. 30.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Option again Arrizabalaga is eligible to face Liverpool on Saturday after being loan-locked.

Concedes two in Cherries debut Arrizabalaga made six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Everton.

Impact Kepa posted a solid inaugural Bournemouth performance Saturday following his late transfer window loan move from Chelsea. He made a series of big saves that kept his conceded goal total to two, that transpired to be crucial given the Cherries late three goal comeback to secure all three points. With former starting keeper Neto on loan to Arsenal, Kepa looks to be the choice starter between the sticks. He will not play in Bournemouth's next game, which is against his home club Chelsea, likely Mark Travers will assume the role for that match.
