In a surprising statistical revelation of the Premier League’s most effective goalkeepers, both Joe Hart and David De Gea have missed out on the top ten. The Manchester City and Manchester United shot stoppers may be regarded as the best of the lot in the Premier League, but it is Stoke City’s young goalkeeper Jack Butland who has made the most saves this season in the top flight.

Butland has come into prominence this season after the departure of Potters’ number one last season, Asmir Begovic, to Chelsea this summer.
