5. Mark Flekken – Brentford
Mark Flekken has quickly made his mark at Brentford, stepping up as one of the top shot-stoppers in the league. Standing at 6’4″, his imposing presence in goal has been vital for the Bees. Flekken has made 33 saves, the joint-highest in the league after seven matches, showcasing his excellent reflexes and ability to read the game.
One of Flekken’s standout performances came on the opening day against Crystal Palace, where his crucial saves helped secure Brentford’s 2-1 victory. His commanding presence and agility have made him an essential part of Thomas Frank’s squad, and he looks set to remain a key figure as the season unfolds. With Brentford showing early signs of stability, they are long odds at 10/1 for relegation — a testament to Flekken’s significant contribution to the team’s solid start.
4. David Raya – Arsenal
David Raya’s transfer to Arsenal raised eyebrows when he was brought in to compete with Aaron Ramsdale. However, Raya has firmly established himself as Mikel Arteta’s first-choice keeper, and it’s easy to see why. In his first seven matches, he’s racked up 25 saves and kept three clean sheets.
His dominance in and around the penalty area has been a major asset, particularly with his 11 high claims, the second-most in the league. Raya’s sharp decision-making when coming off his line has bolstered Arsenal’s defence. With Alisson Becker injured and Manchester City conceding more than usual, Raya is the current favourite to win the Golden Glove, with odds of 11/8.
3. Robert Sanchez – Chelsea
Robert Sanchez’s move to Chelsea has been met with optimism, and his performances have justified that faith. Like Flekken, he’s made 33 saves in his first seven matches, tying for the most in the league. A major highlight of his season came in Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, where he saved a crucial penalty, effectively securing an extra two points for his team.
Sanchez is known for his agility and quick reflexes, which he pairs with excellent positioning. His ability as a “sweeper keeper” has been highlighted by his 13 sweeper clearances, the most in the league. Chelsea’s defence has looked solid with Sanchez between the posts.
2. André Onana – Manchester United
In what has been a turbulent start for Manchester United, André Onana has emerged as one of the bright spots. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has registered four clean sheets in the first seven matches, despite United’s defensive struggles. His penalty save earlier in the season helped United secure vital points.
Onana’s confidence with the ball at his feet is another reason he stands out, with his 255 passes ranking him second among goalkeepers in the league. His ability to play out from the back has been crucial for United, and as the season progresses, his experience and composure will be essential for Erik ten Hag’s side.
1. Alisson Becker – Liverpool
Alisson Becker has arguably been the best goalkeeper in the Premier League so far this season. Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have surged to the top of the table, conceding just two goals in their first seven matches. Alisson has been central to this success, making 15 saves and keeping three clean sheets.
His calmness under pressure and brilliant shot-stopping ability have solidified Liverpool’s backline. Unfortunately, Alisson is expected to miss the next six weeks due to a hamstring injury, which could impact Liverpool’s momentum. Despite the injury, he remains a strong contender for the Golden Glove, with current odds at 15/2.
