#3 Ederson

Manchester City's start to the current campaign may not have been as glowing as some predicted. But if there is one thing that a Pep Guardiola team always excels in, it is in their strong defensive record. Ederson, an imperative part of their starting eleven, has been a key component behind this defensively sound start for the club.

Ederson has four clean sheets for Manchester City so far and has only conceded one goal from open play. Although with only five saves to his name, Ederson enjoys a save percentage of 80% and looks solid between the sticks for City.


#2 Edouard Mendy

Edouard Mendy is a player who has been a revelation for Chelsea's defense ever since he arrived at the club. Chelsea had struggled to have a top-quality goalkeeper among their ranks since the exit of Thibaut Courtois. After an arguably failed and costly experiment with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Chelsea's appointment of Edouard Mendy in 2020 has surely put an end to those struggles. He played a crucial part in Chelsea's Champions League winning defense in the 2020-21 season.

In the new season, Mendy has sought to continue with his excellent form. Chelsea's robust defense has also meant that they have now kept more clean sheets than they have conceded goals. A major credit for this goes to Edouard Mendy's services.

He has kept four clean sheets in the Premier League and boasts an impeccable 100% save percentage in the domestic competition. This season has also seen him make sixteen elite saves.


#1 Alisson Becker

Alisson is probably the most in-form goalkeeper among the top five European football leagues. His performances so far have been nothing short of elite as he has kept four clean sheets for his team. Across four Premier League matchdays, he has conceded only one goal. He also boasts an elite 93.3% save percentage and has made fourteen saves already.

With Alisson in great form, Liverpool will be looking to return to the top of the Premier League once again.
