Nick Pope has impressed for Burnley, especially in the Premier League, since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2016 from Charlton Athletic.

The 29-year-old has played 121 games in the English top flight, all for Burnley. Pope has kept an impressive 40 clean sheets during this period, including three this season.

The Englishman has kept at least 11 clean sheets in his three previous campaigns in the competition. However, Pope has also committed five errors leading to goals in the Premier League, including three since the start of the 2020-21 season.


#2 Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea) - 3

Kepa Arrizabalaga became the most expensive goalkeeper in the game's history when Chelsea splurged €80 million in the summer of 2018 to sign him from Athletic Bilbao.

However, contrary to expectations, Kepa has failed to light up the Premier League. He did keep 14 clean sheets in his debut campaign in the competition. However, the number dropped to eight in his next campaign as Kepa became synonymous with high-profile errors.

The Spaniard's fallibility in goal led Chelsea to land Edouard Mendy in the summer of 2020. Kepa has since played second fiddle to the excellent Senegalese. The 27-year-old has only played eight league games since the start of the 2020-21 season, but has already made three errors leading to goals.

With Mendy away on international duty (AFCON) in January 2022, Kepa has the opportunity to redeem himself. It remains to be seen how he fares, given his limited involvement with the first team in recent months. He kept a clean sheet in the lone league game he has played this season.


#1 Alisson Becker (Liverpool) - 4

Alisson Becker is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League at the moment.

The 2020 Premier League winner has kept an impressive 55 clean sheets for Liverpool in the competition since arriving in the summer of 2018. He kept 21 shutouts in his first campaign in the English top flight. However, since then, Alisson's clean sheet tally has progressively dwindled.

Despite playing a key role in Liverpool's first-ever Premier League triumph in 2020, Alisson has also made errors leading to goals. The Brazilian has made eight errors leading to opposition goals in the Premier League. This includes four since the start of the 2020-21 campaign.

However, Alisson seems to be a man on a mission this campaign. He has already kept a joint-highest nine clean sheets in 18 games as third-placed Liverpool eye their second league title in three years.
