There is a lot of pressure on goalkeepers to perform, especially with the attention they get in the Premier League.

Their errors usually lead to a goal being conceded, so recruiting a top shot-stopper is key for a successful season.

Opta use a stat for keepers called ‘xG Prevented’, which compares their actual goals conceded to the xG they have faced. If they receive a minus score, they are underperforming.
