Anders Lindegaard claims David De Gea and Ederson are the Premier League's two best goalkeepers as Manchester United prepare to take on title-chasing Manchester City

David de Gea's former team-mate Anders Lindegaard believes the Premier League's two best goalkeepers will be on show in this weekend's Manchester derby.

Burnley's Denmark international Lindegaard, 33, spent four years alongside De Gea at Old Trafford and saw the Spaniard develop into one of the world's top goalkeepers.

At the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, De Gea will line up opposite Manchester City's Ederson, who Lindegaard feels has been key to his side's runaway success in the top flight this season.
