#3 Jose Sa (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Jose Sa has been phenomenal for Wolverhampton Wanderers this season. The Portuguese joined Wolves in July 2021 from Olympiacos for a sum of €8 million on a 5-year deal. He was brought in as a replacement for Rui Patricio, who moved to AS Roma the same summer.
Patricio had done a good job for Wolves and living up to those levels would have been commendable enough. But Jose Sa has done that and more. The 29-year-old has been an assured presence between the sticks for Bruno Lage's men.
He has the best save percentage of all goalkeepers in the Premier League. Sa has saved 84% of the shots he has faced in the league this term. He has a PSxG of +0.30, the second highest in the league. Sa has kept eight clean sheets and made 68 saves so far in the 2021-22 season.
#2 David de Gea (Manchester United)
David de Gea had a torrid 2020-21 season. His form had dipped drastically over the past few seasons and his best years seemed to be behind him as he started playing second fiddle to Dean Henderson. But an injury to Deano meant that De Gea was thrust back into the starting lineup at the start of the 2021-22 season.
The Spaniard has rediscovered his form and regained his mojo. He is one of the best shot stoppers the game has ever seen and De Gea has come to Manchester United's rescue an incredible number of times this season.
He has made a whopping 84 saves in the ongoing Premier League campaign. That is 13 more than second-placed Illan Meslier who has made 71 saves. De Gea has kept just five clean sheets but that's largely down to United's poor defensive form.
De Gea has the best PSxG (+0.44) in the league per 90 mins. He has saved 73.4% of shots he has faced this season. He has also saved two penalties this season.
However, the Spaniard is poor at sweeping and his distribution has to improve as well. He is also susceptible to the odd error and that is why he doesn't top this list.
#1 Alisson Becker (Liverpool)
Alisson Becker has been a steady presence behind Liverpool's backline for several years now. He continues to be extremely good at his job and is one of the most well-rounded goalkeepers in the world. The Brazilian international is excellent at sweeping and shows great command over his box.
The 29-year-old has kept 10 clean sheets but has only had to make 41 saves so far this season. He boasts a PSxG per 90 mins of +0.14 in the Premier League, the fifth highest in the league. Alisson has completed 48.9% of his passes over 40 yards.
He has kept Liverpool in the game on many occasions and his performance last night in a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace has earned him praise from all across the globe.
