The top 10 overperforming goalkeepers in the Premier League

The Premier League is home to some of the best goalkeepers in the world and we have checked out who currently ranks among the top shot-stoppers.

We have ranked the top 10 keepers based on their post-shot expected goals, minus the goals they have conceded this season. 

10. Alisson 

The Liverpool back line has had its fair share of wobbles so far this season, but Alisson still ranks with the top 10 goalkeepers in the league. 

Liverpool have conceded six goals in their opening six matches and they have been guilty of giving away big opportunities to the opposition. 

Alisson is as reliable as they come though and he has prevented 0.1 goals so far this season for Liverpool. 

9. Lukasz Fabianski 

Often a goalkeeper who goes under the radar, Lukasz Fabianski is still going strong at 37 years old. 

The Polish goalkeeper has prevented 0.3 goals this season for West Ham and he has made a total of 13 saves. 

8. Vicente Guaita 

In their opening six matches, Crystal Palace have already faced Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City so Vicente Guaita has been kept on his toes. 

The Palace goalkeeper has faced 24 shots this season and has prevented 0.5 goals. 

7. Dean Henderson 

Dean Henderson wanted to play first team football this season after sitting on the bench at Manchester United for the past two seasons. 

Henderson has faced more shots than any other Premier League goalkeeper with 36 and he has already managed to save two penalties. 

In total the Forest shot-stopper has prevented 0.6 goals according to xG. 

6. Jose Sa 

Last season Jose Sa ranked at the top of the Premier League for goals prevented with a massive 9.2 goals prevented in total. 

The Wolves goalkeeper has been just as solid this season as he has prevented 1.1 goals this far into the season. 

5. Emiliano Martinez 

Aston Villa are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, but Emiliano Martinez has managed to dig them out of quite a few situations. 

Villa managed to pick up a solid point against Man City last time out as they limited Pep Guardiola’s side to the single goal. 

This season Martinez has prevented a total of 1.1 goals. 

4. Bernd Leno 

Bernd Leno has had a new lease of life at Fulham and he will be enjoying playing regular first team football once again. 

In just four appearances for Fulham the German goalkeeper has managed to prevent 2.5 goals and ranks well above Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale in this regard. 

3. Robert Sanchez 

Brighton have become known for their defensive stability and Robert Sanchez has had a vital role to play in that. 

Since coming through the ranks at Brighton, Sanchez has been involved with the Spanish national team and he currently ranks as one of the best goalkeepers in the league. 

In total, the Spanish goalkeeper has prevented 2.6 goals this season, having faced 17 shots on target against him. 

Brighton will have a restructure after losing manager Graham Potter, but he has left behind the foundations of a very solid Premier League outfit. 

2. Nick Pope 

Newcastle currently lead the way in the Premier League for clean sheets, alongside Man City, Wolves and Brighton with three from their opening six matches. 

Nick Pope has faced a total of 35 shots and he has made more saves than any other Premier League goalkeeper with 28 saves this season. 

Overall, he has prevented 2.8 goals for Newcastle this season. 

1. Jordan Pickford  

Jordan Pickford had a vital role to play in Everton’s survival last season and he has picked up right where he left off last time. 

The Everton goalkeeper has prevented a total of 3.4 goals, which is the most in the Premier League.
