#3 David de Gea
David de Gea might be having trouble securing a clean sheet - he has just 1 in 11 games, but statistics show that the Spaniard is in top form this season as well. De Gea has made 40 saves so far this season, and when you compare it to the other top 6 goalkeepers, the numbers reveal a lot.
Peter Cech has 28, but he has started 4 games less. Lloris, who has also played 7 games, has 26 saves. Kepa, who has cost Chelsea a fortune, has 22 saves from 11 games, same as Alisson. Ederson, who leads the race for the Golden Glove this season, has just 19. It shows that De Gea is paying the price for a woeful defence ahead of him and in reality, the Spaniard has been the backbone of all the wins this season.
De Gea has made crucial saves in every game and kept the game within reach of United. Indeed, everytime that United have been able to muster a comeback, it has been because De Gea has ensured that they had not drifted too far away. Against Manchester City too, one can expect the Spaniard to be crucial, and his brilliance can definitely determine the outcome of the game.
