With half of the English Premier League done away
with, it is time to take out our critic glasses
and have a go at the young goalkeepers and how
they have performed so far in the 2020/21 Premier
League season. While experienced players bring
prowess to the team but they could hardly match
the passion and zeal of a young player starting
out in his career with their dream club. While
very few stand out in their starting years but
grow into the role with experience and continuous
training but the questions clubs often find
themselves asking is on what basis do you judge?
The answer is right in front of them Data.

And hence we bring to you a brief analysis on
upcoming goalkeepers who might one day be
compared to the legends. First, in the list we
have Illan Meslier of Leeds United who has so far
made 22 appearance with the club this season and
1980 minutes played is known for his penalty
saving skills and the next best choice after Kiko
Casilla, his debut for the club came in January
last year against Arsenal in FA cup where he
saved the day and Leeds won by 1-0 and later on
at the end of the season the club was promoted to
the top-flight tournament. His career stats show
86 saves and the penalty expert has conceded a
penalty just once while twice his error in
judgment lead to goals.

Next in the list, we have Caoimhin Kelleher of
Liverpool who was in Liverpools academy until
recently and made his debut for the club in 2019.
At the age of 22 years and 13 days, he became to
be known as the third-youngest Liverpool
goalkeeper to keep a Premier League clean sheet.
He has made two appearances for the club this
season and has a total of 6 saves to his name
with no fouls, no error that led to goals, and
hasnt yet conceded any penalty.
5
Manchester Uniteds Dean Henderson has made three
appearances for the club playing for 224 minutes
and has saved 11 goals but has also lost one goal
to error. The 23-year-old featured in Manchester
Uniteds jersey against Sheffield United,
Southampton, and West Ham in and in all three
matches Red Devils won the fight. Henderson had
spent two years on loan with then Championship
club Sheffield United, and later won the side
promotion to the big leagues. Ole Gunnar Solskjær
now sees the goalkeeper as the clubs future
after he secured the 11th clean sheet of his
career.
6
Jordan Pickford joined Everton for 25 million in
June 2017, the high cost made him the third most
expensive goalkeeper in history at that time and
he is the clubs second most expensive player
after Gylfi Sigurðsson. A regular feature in
Englands squad he was named the Evertons Player
of the Season in 2017/18. In the last season he
made 38 appearances in the Premier League and
kept a clean sheet 13 times but is known to foul
a lot, thrice his error this season has lead to a
goal, while he has completed 47 saves for Everton
this season.
7
Arsenals Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson has made just one
appearance for the club but in 15 minutes of
playtime, he was able to save 2 goals. He signed
a four-year deal with the club on 21 September
2020, his debut went well with a squeaky clean
sheet against Dundalk in UEFA Europa League but
this season he was dropped on the field against
Wolves and Arsenal ultimately lost the match by
2-1, and he has been on the bench ever
since. Last on the list we have Chelseas Kepa
in his four appearances at the club the
goalkeeper has made an impression of his own with
12 saves in 4 appearances but twice his error
lead to a goal in 360 minutes on the field. The
Spanish goalkeeper moved from Bilbao to Blues in
2018, for a world record transfer fee of 80
million for goalkeeper which perhaps called a lot
of attention on the player, he was instrumental
in Chelseas 2019 UEFA Europa League win but his
form deteriorated and in the next season, he was
mostly seen on the bench. This season his moves
on the field are being heavily criticized because
of his blunders which ultimately led to the
signing of Édouard Mendy and himbeing relegated
to the bench.
