The 2024-25 Premier League season has been full of surprises and the biggest surprise from the proceedings has been the Golden Glove race which doesn’t include Allison, Ederson, or Andre Onana in the top three as goalkeepers from other clubs have outperformed those who were expected to be leading the race during the title run-in.
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels has kept 13 clean sheets in 35 appearances and also boasts the best save percentage after Brentford’s Mark Flekken. David Raya is in second place with 12 clean sheets in 35 appearances, and the Arsenal goalkeeper has conceded 31 goals, the lowest for any first-choice Premier League goalkeeper who has played 30 matches or more in the ongoing season.
Everton’s Jordan Pickford has kept 10 clean sheets in 35 appearances so far, helping the Toffees avoid the relegation battle during the last couple of months of the season, enjoying an upsurge in form since David Moyes has returned to the club. Crystal Palace No.1 Dean Henderson has also kept 10 clean sheets in 35 appearances. Two goalkeepers from rival clubs who were expected to lead the charts this season, Alisson Becker has kept 10 clean sheets in 25 appearances, while Andre Onana has kept 9 clean sheets in 33 appearances, conceding 43 goals for the Red Devils.
Forest has an easier run-in than Arsenal for the rest of the Premier League season, and Sels should be confident of keeping the Golden Glove ahead of David Raya, who would be facing attacking sides like Brentford, Liverpool, and Newcastle United. Here is the full list of odds as per MGM Bet:
Matz Sels: -225
David Raya: +160
Jordan Pickford: +50000
Dean Henderson: +50000
Andre Onana: +50000
Alisson Becker: +50000
Apart from his heroics in the Premier League, Sels has also powered Nottingham Forest to the FA Cup semi-final, and the Tricky Tress were in contention for their first FA Cup final since 1991, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s men tasted defeat against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.
