September 2, 2025 Kris Isaksen

The Premier League is packed with elite shot-stoppers this season, blending old-school reflexes with modern ball-playing finesse. From long-serving veterans to fresh faces making their mark, here’s a countdown of the top 20 goalkeepers in England's top flight right now, ranked from 20 to 1.

20. Andre Onana – Manchester United

Onana’s turbulent start at Manchester United has been marred by costly errors, making him one of the more controversial names on this list. Despite his struggles, his impressive past at Inter Milan just about earns him a spot in the top 20.

19. Martin Dubravka – Burnley

Often overlooked, Dubravka brings stability wherever he goes and has quietly been a solid option in goal. Now at Burnley, the Slovakian international is proving he still has something to offer in the top flight.

18. Caoimhin Kelleher – Brentford

After years in Alisson’s shadow at Liverpool, Kelleher has finally stepped out on his own at Brentford. His performances when called upon have impressed, showing he has the shot-stopping skills to compete at this level.

17. Kepa Arrizabalaga – Arsenal

Still the most expensive goalkeeper in history, Kepa’s journey has been full of ups and downs. A strong season at Bournemouth helped rehabilitate his image before he accepted a backup role at Arsenal.

16. Djordje Petrovic – Bournemouth

Kepa’s successor at Bournemouth, Petrovic has shown promise and composure in goal. His performances have been strong enough to earn him recognition among the league’s top keepers.

15. Jose Sa – Wolverhampton Wanderers

Even though Wolves have battled relegation, Jose Sa has consistently made crucial saves. His ability to keep them in games has not gone unnoticed despite a shaky backline in front of him.

14. Giorgi Mamardashvili – Liverpool

Mamardashvili may be the number two at Liverpool, but he’s a quality keeper in his own right. The Georgian international is one of the top young goalkeeping prospects in Europe and offers strong backup for Alisson.

13. Aaron Ramsdale – Newcastle United

After losing his place at Arsenal, Ramsdale is looking for a fresh start at Newcastle. Despite relegation with Southampton last season, his overall quality keeps him on the radar.

12. Robert Sanchez – Chelsea

Sanchez has had a mixed time at Chelsea, but his raw ability still puts him above many in the league. When he's on form, his reflex saves and physical presence are real assets.

11. Bart Verbruggen – Brighton & Hove Albion

Young and full of potential, Verbruggen has made a name for himself at Brighton with his sharp reactions and composure. He’s developing into one of the league’s most promising goalkeepers.

10. Bernd Leno – Fulham

A reliable figure at Fulham, Leno has rediscovered his form since leaving Arsenal. Now a leader at Craven Cottage, he brings calmness and consistency to the backline.

9. Guglielmo Vicario – Tottenham Hotspur

Replacing Hugo Lloris was never going to be easy, but Vicario has stepped up well at Spurs. Despite a tough second season, he remains a solid modern keeper with quick reflexes and tidy distribution.

8. Nick Pope – Newcastle United

Pope is arguably England’s best pure shot-stopper and a fan favorite at Newcastle. Though injuries have limited his appearances recently, his impact when fit is undeniable.

7. Dean Henderson – Crystal Palace

Henderson has finally found regular minutes and form at Crystal Palace. His standout performance in the FA Cup final highlighted just how dependable he can be.

6. Jordan Pickford – Everton

Pickford continues to shine both for club and country. After helping Everton avoid the drop and starring for England in another major tournament, he remains one of the league's most experienced and dependable keepers.

5. Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest

Sels has been a revelation at Forest, playing a key role in their surprise push into Europe. With 13 clean sheets last season, he proved he's capable of competing with the very best.

4. Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa

A World Cup winner and back-to-back Yashin Trophy recipient, Martinez has been consistently elite for Villa. Though a move to Manchester United didn’t materialize, his level rarely drops.

3. David Raya – Arsenal

Raya's calmness and clean sheet tally have made him one of Arsenal’s most important players. Now a two-time Golden Glove winner, he’s become a crucial cog in Mikel Arteta’s system.

2. Gianluigi Donnarumma – Manchester City

One of the most talented goalkeepers in the world, Donnarumma’s move to Manchester City has reignited his club career. While his footwork still raises questions, his shot-stopping is world-class.

1. Alisson Becker – Liverpool

Still the gold standard in Premier League goalkeeping, Alisson continues to be a game-changer for Liverpool. Despite recent injury woes, his dominance and presence in goal remain unmatched.
