Which Premier League team has the best goalkeeper? – The Athletic

Which side has the best attack in the Premier League right now? What about the best midfield, defence, and goalkeeper? When you split the team up into its parts, it’s not such an easy question to answer. But, here at The Athletic, we have tried.

Starting with the midfield, our writers nominated the sides they feel have the best set of players in that area. Now we’re on to the goalkeepers. There will be follow-up articles on the other two team sections later in the week.

Don’t agree? Come and let us know in the comments and vote for the Premier League’s best goalkeeper in the poll at the end of the article…

Manchester City 

I’ll level with you, I’ve nominated City’s defence, midfield and attack, and after writing about their various abilities, it felt harsh to leave out the goalkeepers.

It’s not like City have two similarly matched keepers that are vying for a starting spot every week, because Ederson is Pep Guardiola’s No 1 and the Catalan has said as much himself, but there is a good dynamic in the position and Zack Steffen is a very capable No 2, which is all you need, really.

Ederson’s quality speaks for itself, and he is arguably the most important player that Guardiola has brought to the club. Because he is so nerveless in possession and capable of playing perfectly weighted passes over either five or 80 yards, opposition teams just leave him to it.
