5 best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season

#1 Ederson Moraes (Manchester City)

The mad hatter Brazilian has brought confidence to the Citizens' backline

A lot of critics especially those of British descent laid into Pep Guardiola last season following his discarding of Joe Hart & purchase of Chilean Claudio Bravo from FC Barcelona to be the number one goalie.

Bravo's first season in the Premier League was calamitous and forced Guardiola into going back into the market to get another goalie to play the way he wants the team to play.

Enter Ederson, the fearless, nerves-of-steel Brazilian from Portuguese giants Benfica for a goalkeeping transfer record fee of £34.7m

It has been money well spent as he has inspired a sea change in the defence line of Manchester City and has helped liberate the attack.

Quick off his line, brave in one-on-one situations, superb reflexes and a brilliant command of his defence, he has been at the heart of everything good that the Blues have done this season.

While his goalkeeping has been exceptional, his interpretation of the sweeper/keeper role is what has drawn the most plaudits as his pin-point passing and snuffing out of danger have helped City out of many sticky situations.

He has recorded 11 clean sheets amongst many other great stats but it is his importance to how the team players that has put him on top of this list.
