Kepa Arrizabalaga 'convinced he will reclaim Chelsea starting spot'

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga reportedly expects to be handed a recall for Chelsea's Premier League fixture with Manchester United on Monday night.

After making a number of errors throughout the season, Arrizabalaga was dropped for the game at Leicester City before the club's winter break.

While deputy Willy Caballero made a mistake of his own at the King Power Stadium, the veteran is in contention to keep his place for the meeting with the North-West giants.

However, according to The Sun, Arrizabalaga is convinced that his omission from the starting lineup will be a short one after talks with Frank Lampard.

The report suggests that the Spaniard feels that the discussions with the Blues boss were positive, leading to the possibility of a start in the important top-flight encounter.

Last month, it was claimed that Lampard is considering potential replacements for Arrizabalaga should his form not improve before the end of the season.
