The debate on who is Arsenal's recognised number one goalkeeper has been going on since regular Manuel Almunia failed to regain his place after recovering from a chest infection.
Third-choice keeper Vito Mannone kept his place for the London derby against West Ham, and second-choice keeper Lukasz Fabianski was chosen for the 2-1 win over Liverpool.
Today Arsenal take on North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and Wenger has admitted that he has indeed chosen his keeper for the match ... but will not be revealing who it is.
Wenger said: "I've decided who will start but I won't tell you.
"I'm always tempted to start with Manuel Almunia. But he was sick for a long time and it takes some time to come back.
"A player who is on the bench wants to play.
"The job of a professional footballer is to perform well when he plays and when he doesn't play do everything to play the next game."
I'm off to go on a stadium tour and have lunch at the stadium, before going to the match. Hopefully, it'll be a good day.
