5 players that have been excellent in the Premier League so far

#3 David De Gea

David De Gea broke the record for most saves in a single Premier League match against Arsenal

David De Gea has been the best goalkeeper in the league by a mile this season even though Ederson has brought a different dynamic to the City team and Courtois jointly leads the Premier League clean sheet charts with the Spaniard at 10 clean sheets each.

De Gea made 14 saves against Arsenal, the most by any goalkeeper in a Premier League match. He ranks second in the list of most saves made in the league and that is an astounding stat in itself given that the chart is usually topped by goalkeepers of the lower teams who face a lot of shots.

An argument can be made that Chelsea's and Manchester City's defences make Ederson and Courtois look good. With De Gea, Manchester United's defence looks good because of him.

If a goalkeeper is to win the player of the year award, no one can stake their claim more than David De Gea.
