Best Premier League goalkeepers - 2024/25 power rankings
- Goalkeepers ability to save and play ball out from the back more important than ever
- Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya the current Golden Glove holder
- 2024/25 season power rankings fluctuate based on form over the campaign
The Premier League has never boasted such star quality across the board, with the talent at the division's disposal spreading across every position group.
Sure, there are relentless goalscorers, dazzling playmakers, powerful box-to-boxers and stern defenders, but don't forget about the goalkeepers.
There's nowhere to hide as a shot-stopper in the Premier League. Goalkeepers are only as good as their previous action. A high-profile error is capable of a stock crash, with reputations only earned after months of reliability.
90min ranks the Premier League's best goalkeepers based on their 2024/25 performances.
5. Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace) - New entry
Crystal Palace made an underwhelming start to the campaign and struggled to pick up points or keep clean sheets at the beginning of the term. However, Oliver Glasner has led his resurgent Eagles up the table in recent months with a helping hand from his goalkeeper.
Dean Henderson is among the candidates for the Golden Glove come the end of the season if he and his Palace teammates can continue on their current trajectory, with the England international having gone about his business with an understated grace that deserves recognition.
4. Jordan Pickford (Everton) ↔️
Jordan Pickford has previously been crucial in Everton's survival bids, and the Toffees are hopeful of steering clear of the drop zone this term. The return of David Moyes has certainly helped as they climb up the standings and clear of their competitors.
England and Everton's number one has been key in their recent transformation and regularly outperforms his expected goals conceded tally with impressive reflex saves.
Pickford is also among the Golden Glove contenders after five shutouts in December and January.
3. Mats Sels (Nottingham Forest) ↔️
Nottingham Forest's sensational campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo has largely been attributed to the brilliance of Chris Wood up front.
But one of the biggest problems that Forest have solved is who they have between the sticks. A number of goalkeepers were cycled through in quick succession - many of them on loan - before Matz Sels rocked up, and it's fair to say they've found the difference maker.
Forest boast one of the best defensive records in the Premier League and the Belgian has made an enormous impact in their improvements at the back.
2. David Raya (Arsenal) ↔️
Arsenal's good but not great start to the 2024/25 campaign was not down to their goalkeeper. The increased permeability of Arsenal's defence had little to do with the current holder of the division's Golden Glove award.
The resurgence of the Gunners in recent months has been aided by a consistent and reliable force in goal, with Raya's distribution also integral to how Arsenal build out from the back and beat an opposition press.
With injuries having impacted his forward line, Mikel Arteta has relied even more on his stubborn backline and defiant goalkeeper in recent times.
1. Alisson (Liverpool) ↔️
While Raya earned Golden Glove honours last time out, he did so while making just 46 saves. Alisson, on the contrary, was almost always busy while serving as the last defender of Liverpool's aggressive defensive line.
The Brazilian now plays under the slightly more conservative Arne Slot but is still regularly called upon to keep Liverpool clean sheets intact. There is no better goalkeeper in world football when it comes to one-v-one situations and the sprawling stopper often comes to the rescue with clutch saves.
Alisson will remain undisputed number one until someone proves they are more worthy.
