#3 Tim Krul (Norwich City)

The Premier League has some well experienced goalkeepers and Tim Krul is definitely one of them. The Dutch shot-stopper has been on the books at Norwich for more than three seasons now.

The newly-promoted side are having a tough time in the Premier League this season, having secured only five points from the first 11 games. Norwich also parted ways with manager Daniel Farke recently, appointing Dean Smith as his replacement. However, Krul has been a major presence for the Canaries between the sticks.

He has used all the experience at his disposal to try and keep Norwich from conceding, but he will need more support from his defenders. To date, Krul has made 37 saves this season at a rate of 60.7 per cent. He will be a key player if the Canaries are to avoid relegation this season.


#2 Illan Meslier (Leeds United)

Leeds United have been quite inconsistent with their performances in the Premier League ever since they were promoted last season. Marcelo Bielsa has done a fine job with the Whites but a little more consistency can do wonders for them.

One of the most impressive performers under Bielsa has been Illan Meslier. The young French goalkeeper has been very bright at the back using his sharp reflexes and amazing shot-stopping abilities. Over time, it is expected that the former Lorient goalkeeper will achieve bigger things in his career.

Meslier has done a very fine job for Leeds United this season, making 37 saves already in 11 matches. With a save percentage of 68.5, he's one of the most efficient goalkeepers in the Premier League right now.


#1 Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City)

The son of legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel hasn't let his father down one bit. Kasper Schmeichel had a phenomenal time at Euro 2020 this summer and has carried his good form into the new season in the Premier League.

With his contributions, the Danish goalkeeper has already attained legendary status at Leicester City. His consistent performances between the sticks have been more than helpful for the Foxes over the years. Interestingly, the former Notts County goalkeeper hasn't missed a single Premier League game for the Foxes since the 2016-17 season.

Kasper Schmeichel has made 37 saves this season at a rate of 69.2 per cent. His commanding presence at the back will be important to Leicester City's aspiration to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
