5. Bernd Leno – Fulham | 61 points | £5.0m
Bernd Leno is a quality goalkeeper who often goes under the radar unfortunately. This week, Fulham play West Ham who have been really poor so far this season. Fulham in general are a difficult side to play against and they are not a side who gives up too many good chances. This means that Leno will have a great chance of keeping a clean sheet this weekend. The German has been decent but he has only kept a couple of clean sheets so far. He has made a total of 59 saves. West Ham have a new manager but expect Leno to put up a good showing.
4. Andre Onana – Manchester United | 72 points | £5.1m
Manchester United will be no short of confidence having had a couple of great games against Liverpool and Arsenal consecutively. Andre Onana however, after a fantastic start to the season, has endured a lean patch of form over the previous few weeks. He will be under pressure too, considering second choice Altay Bayindir played a huge part in the FA Cup win over Arsenal. That being said, however, the Cameroonian will be expected to keep his place as well as a clean sheet when United take on bottom-of-the-table Southampton this weekend.
3. Martin Dubravka – Newcastle | 27 points | £4.2m
While calling him a Newcastle legend might be a step too far, Martin Dubravka has certainly had a massive impact on the club. Widely expected to leave for the Middle East this month, Dubravka suddenly started games with Nick Pope, who was out for the long term. It remains to be seen if Newcastle do sign a goalkeeper this month, but it is very unlikely. Dubravka is expected to be between the sticks as Newcastle take on Wolves this weekend. The veteran keeper has made 7 saves and kept 4 clean sheets in the 5 games he has started.
2. Robert Sanchez – Chelsea | 69 points | £4.8m
While Robert Sanchez has faced significant criticism this season, he has been getting better recently. To his credit though, he has put in stellar displays of late. Chelsea too have shown notable improvement defensively in recent times. This week, they are set to play against Bournemouth. The Cherries are really short of options up front with both their strikers Evanilson and Enes Unal suffering serious injuries. A strong performance once again from Sanchez will be of huge help as Chelsea intend to join the title race. The Spanish goalkeeper has recorded 4 clean sheets so far this season. He has also accumulated a total of 64 saves.

1. Antonin Kinsky – Tottenham Hotspur | 0 points | £4.5m
This weekend Antonin Kinsky is expected to make his Premier League debut, that too in a North London derby. While that might sound like a lot of pressure for a 21-year-old. But the Czech keeper seems to be made of sterner stuff. Signed by Tottenham just last week, after having made waves for Slavia Prague in the Europa League, Kinsky is a great shot-stopper and ball player. He used these qualities to great effect as he kept a clean sheet on his debut against Liverpool. With Arsenal lacking firepower up front, he could be a great differential.
As we turn our attention to Gameweek 21, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Both sides are in desperate need of a win with the pressure now mounting on the managers of both sides. Interestingly, the rivals are also both ravaged by injuries.
The deadline for GW21 is on January 14th.
