3. Dean Henderson
- Full Name: Dean Bradley Henderson
- Date of Birth: March 12th, 1997
- Club: Sheffield United
- Nationality: English
- Playing position: Goalkeeper
Dean Henderson has been the solid rock for the back of Sheffield United in recent times. He is a top-quality shot-stopper who just happens to find himself playing in a small club. Make no mistake about it; that small club has gained a reputation of blowing away any opposition that those strap up their belts before facing them. He is perhaps the biggest reason why Sheffield United is that fearsome team; they attack forcefully- all guns blazing! They can only have such boldness because they have a quality defense marshaled by a quality goalkeeper.
4. Bernd Leno
- Full Name: Bernd Leno
- Date of Birth: 4th of March, 1992
- Place of Birth: Germany

Leno at international levels made his debut as a professional Goalkeeper in the year 2016 for the Germany National team.
Arsenal's goalkeeper also makes the list of the best goalkeepers in the premier league because, without him, they would probably be struggling in a bad spot on the table. Arsenal has an attack line that would give anybody and any team headaches before and after a game, but the defense tends to collapse under any meaningful and purposeful attack. That is where Bernd Leno comes in; this man is the only reason why Arsenal has not capitulated defensively, and have the daring to press forward in search of winning goals. Every time you say a word of praise to the attackers always remember the guy at the back who makes the saves.
5. Vicente Guaita
- Full Name: Vicente Guaita Panadero
- Date of Birth: January 10th, 1987
- Place of Birth: Torent, Spain
- Nationality: Spanish

He continues to be a major boost for the team with his stubbornness between the sticks, even when the entire backline is caught completely flat-footed. Vicente Guaita seems to have this resolve not to concede goals, and it is that resolve that makes him put his body on the line, making double saves, and showing readiness to do more as if his life depended on it.
6. Kasper Schmeichel
- Full Name: Kasper Peter Schmeichel
- Date Of Birth: 5th November 1986
- Club: Leicester
- Nationality: Denmark
Son of former Manchester United great Kasper Schmeichel comes in in the seventh position on the list of top 10 best goalkeepers in the p. He has an excellent shot-stopping ability, a good pull out, organizes his back-line quite well, good anticipation, and above all else; he plays with the determination of a man who wants to prove himself this season.
Kasper Schmeichel has enjoyed better days with Leicester City. But these days are not too bad either considering that the club is in reasonably fine form. The Leicester goalkeeper and captain have been a steadying influence at the back, making those saves that keep Leicester City in games sometimes, and preventing the team from being overwhelmed even when they have played against superior opposition. Kasper Schmeichel commands such influence at the club that he has been rewarded with the Captain's Armband. It appears that the management is appeasing him, so he doesn't jump ship.
7. Ben Foster
- Full Name: Ben Anthony Foster
- Date of Birth: April 3, 1983
- Nationality: England
- Playing position: Goalkeeper
Ben Foster notably began his football career in the year 2001 with the premier league side stoke city and after several loans and transfer to several clubs through the years, he later joined the premier league club 'Watford' in the year 2018 and he became one of the best goalkeepers in the premier league. More also, at international levels, Foster made his professional debut for the England national team in February of the year 2007 against the Spanish National team.
Watford fumbled recently, but Ben Forster is perhaps one of the main reasons why they are still in the league. He is a solid goalkeeper, and rarely makes individual blunders that cost his team. Instead, he covers for the shortcomings of others, and puts his body on the line of fire- repeatedly! We think that his mentality is top-notch, and this solidness is the anchor that saves his whole team from complete capitulation.
David De Gea8. David De Gea
- Full Name: David De Gea
- Date of Birth: 1991
- Nationality: Spain
- Place of Birth: Madrid
- Playing Position: Goal Keeper
David De Gea began his football career at the early age of 13 with the La Liga side 'Athletico Madrid' and with a great improvement; he was promoted from the academic system to make his professional debut with the senior team in the year 2009 after which he was made the team's first keeper, with this, he aided the team to victory in the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup in the year 2010. His outstanding performances thus attracted the premier league side 'Manchester United' and he was transferred to the premier league side following a transfer fee of £18.9 million in the year 2011 which was then a British record fee for a goalkeeper.
Ever since this Spanish lad has joined the premier league side, he has notably aided the team in winning different titles which includes the FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shields titles, UEFA Europa League, and lots more.

And following his outstanding performance, he was fully retained by Newcastle United.
Rafa Benitez has a record of picking very good goalkeepers, hence it comes as no surprise that his goalkeeper at Newcastle United, Martin Dubravka has his name on the list of the best goalies in the English League.

Rui Patricio of Wolverhampton Wanderers makes this list. Have you ever considered the intensity with which Wolverhampton attack? They pour forward on the counter-attack because they have full confidence in the guy standing between the sticks- Rui Patricio.
A certified shot-stopper, Rui Patricio is a pivotal member of this giant-slaying Wolves side. He is hungry, capable, and daring. Rui Patricio, along with the entire Wolves outfit has to desire above all else, it seems like they derive joy from beating the top six teams. If only they would play with the same character against smaller opposition then maybe they would be playing in Europe.
An added advantage that he brings to the team is his ball service; Rui Patricio is very good at launching the ball forward, as his team tries (most times successfully) to catch the opponents with a counter-attack.

Neil Etheridge

Jordan Pickford is also one of the best goalkeepers in the premier league as he plays in the premier league for Everton and also plays for the England National Team.
He demonstrates much more class with England, however, showing that if he had more confidence-boosting back-line he would do much, much better. He is young, however, and will certainly improve with time.
Neil Etheridge
- Full Name: Neil Leonard Dula Etheridge
- Date Of Birth: 7th February 1990
- Place Of Birth: United Kingdom
- Club: Cardiff City
- Nationality: Philippines
Poor Neil Etheridge, falling down into relegation with Cardiff City. Neil Etheridge 10 clean sheets this season, making him better than Manchester United's big-earning David De Gea- at least on paper. His job is to make saves and he did that 141 times, so it isn't his fault that the club will be playing in the Championship next season. If the rest of the team had done their jobs half as well as Neil Etheridge, then Cardiff city football club would not be where it is at the moment.

Tag: Top 10 best Goalkeepers in the premier league 2020
The 2018-19 Premier League season had all the makings of a classic, but I'm not sure anyone expected it to play out the way it is. For the first time in the Premier League era, three teams (Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City) held unbeaten records through November and three teams (Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham) had 15 wins before the new year.
Who Is Favourite To Win The Premier League 2018 Winner
It's tough to accurately predict how teams will finish and who wins the Premier League until after the festive period. We've seen the stat, the team leading the Premier League on Christmas Day has always won the Premier League (other than Liverpool, who failed twice).
Will Liverpool carry on that trend and sputter to the finish line? Will Manchester City keep up their run in all four trophies and win back-to-back titles? Will Tottenham defy the odds, pull off the miracle, and make all of us regret trying to keep them out of the title race? Let's see who is the favorite to win it all.
1st – Liverpool (54 points)
Liverpool is in the middle of their worst run of the season. With an opportunity to go up 10 points and all but clinch the Premier League, Liverpool suffered their first loss of the season to Manchester City and the margin fell to four. To Liverpool's credit, suffering your first loss of the season after the new year and having a perfect December is impressive but that only gets them ahead by four points where in other years, they may be up by double digits.
Along with an FA Cup elimination by the hands of Wolves, Liverpool is currently on a two-game losing streak. To some, getting eliminated from the FA Cup helps their Premier League hopes, and Liverpool had a bunch of backups and academy players playing there, so it's not like they were going all out for the win. But this is still a downturn for them.
Liverpool's big worry is going to be at center back. Already weakened, with Dejan Lovren arguably the reason why Liverpool lost to Man City, Lovren went down with a hamstring injury. That means until Joel Matip and Joe Gomez come back from injury, Fabinho may have to fill in on an emergency basis.
If Liverpool were to drop points, it would be now. I don't believe this team would 'bottle it' as many think will happen, but it may be out of their control. Liverpool's schedule surely helps them, only needing to face three of the big six teams with two of those games at Anfield. But as the Premier League shows, sometimes it's the team you least suspect who can take points away from you.
2nd – Manchester City (50 points)
Manchester City has momentum and they defeated Liverpool. They are back in the title hunt and remain in contention for all four trophies. The additional fixtures might hurt them, but Manchester City arguably has the best depth in the Premier League and their EFL Cup semifinal opponent is League One side Burton Albion. Just like how no one really thought City or Liverpool would pull off an 'Invincibles' run, no one really thinks Man City will win all four trophies. They should win at least one.
City's season success has been largely due to Fernandinho. He may not show up on the stats reports, but Fernandinho commands the midfield better than anyone in the world right now. I had always been high on Kevin de Bruyne and I still am, but Fernandinho is the most important player on this team and as long as he stays healthy, City will keep winning.
Of the three top teams, Man City probably has the toughest schedule. They got the Liverpool game out of the way with great success, but they have to play the other four teams in the top six, including a stretch where they play Arsenal and Chelsea in back-to-back weekends. In addition, City will have their second-leg Champions League game against Schalke four days before facing Man United at Old Trafford. And since United plays their UCL games the week before, that's a huge disadvantage for City. But if they can get a big lead over Schalke in the first leg, that would alleviate their issues having the second leg so close to the Manchester Derby.
3rd – Tottenham Hotspur (48 points)
Who Is Favourite To Win The Premier League 2018 Results
Nothing to take away from Tottenham, they have a great team and in any other season, would probably run away with the title. I mean really, it's rare for a Premier League team to have 15 or more wins before the new year. Spurs did that and were still third in the table. What more do they have to do?
Tottenham has depth issues and a manager who doesn't really like to rotate his squad. Add a couple semifinal games against Chelsea in the EFL Cup, along with the loss of Heung-Min Son due to Asian Cup duty, and Tottenham's faint hopes get even more unlikely.
If Tottenham has an advantage, it would be the fact that they are going to stay in London for a while. Tottenham doesn't have to leave London until February 23 (unless Spurs is in the EFL Cup final). In addition, Spurs' toughest part of the Premier League schedule will be toward the end of the season. After a home game to Man United on the 13th, Spurs doesn't face a top six team until the end of February. Their toughest stretch will no doubt be a one-week stretch that consists of Chelsea, Arsenal and the second Champions League leg against Borussia Dortmund. Something may have to give for Tottenham to be a Premier League contender, but I think they would be better off trying for one of the cups or Champions League.
Who's the favorite?
Unfortunately for Tottenham, barring a miracle, this is a two team race. When it comes to Liverpool and Manchester City, I'm giving the slight edge to Liverpool. But I wouldn't be surprised if both Pool and City drop enough points that the lead changes hands multiple times. We can focus on their top six opponents but both teams will also drop points to the other 14 teams in the league at some point throughout the season.
This race has all the look that it'll remain close throughout the season. If we're lucky, we may get the kind of down to the wire excitement we saw in the final day of the 2011-12 season.
