20) Julian Speroni (Crystal Palace, £440k)
A long-serving Palace player who has been a dedicated, consistent and reliable number one.
19) Robert Green (QPR, £880k)
Has faced his fair share of criticism since his England days, but is perhaps better than the critics suggest.
18) Tom Heaton (Burnley, £1.76m)
Has certainly been busy this season, and in the main he has done little wrong so far this year.
17) Allan McGregor (Hull City, £1.76m)
Currently sidelined by injury, but the experienced stopper is a decent number one for the Tigers.
16) Tim Howard (Everton, £1.76m)
The ageing American has not had the best of starts to the season, but his general standards have been very high.
15) Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea City, £2.20m)
The former Arsenal man has settled well in Wales, and is relishing the chance to be an established number one.
14) Adrian (West Ham United, £2.64m)
Has done well to establish himself as the Hammers number one, and was crucial to their survival last season.
13) Vito Mannone (Sunderland, £3.08m)
Another former Arsenal stopper who has had a couple of bad days this season, but has generally impressed.
12) Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City, £3.08m)
Might not quite have reached the standards of his father Peter, but looks a more than capable Premier League stopper.
11) Ben Foster (West Brom, £3.52m)
The England international has been a key man for Albion for several years now.
10) Brad Guzan (Aston Villa, £4.40m)
Did brilliantly to help Villa’s survival effort last season, and faces a similar challenge again this year.
9) Tim Krul (Newcastle United, £7.92m)
Was excellent last season, and fully earned his selection in the Dutch World Cup squad during the summer.
8) Fraser Forster (Southampton, £8.80m)
Has conceded fewer goals than any other keeper in the Premier League this season, and look excellent.
7) Asmir Begovic (Stoke City, £10.56m)
Regularly rated as one of the Premier League’s top keepers, has attracted interest from the likes of Real Madrid.
6) Simon Mignolet (Liverpool, £12.32m)
Has attracted plenty of criticism during his Liverpool career, but has regularly been let down by some awful defending.
5) Wojciech Szczesny (Arsenal, £14.08m)
The Premier League’s golden glove winner last season, the Pole has regularly impressed for the Gunners.
4) Joe Hart (Manchester City, £14.08m)
Hart has fully established himself as number one for club and country this season, just in case there were any doubts.
3) Hugo Lloris (Tottenham Hotspur, £14.08m)
The French international is surely Tottenham’s most consistent player, and is among the best in the world.
2) David de Gea (Manchester United, £15.84m)
Has been in sparkling form so far this season, and has had plenty to do with United’s shaky defence in front of him.
1) Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea, £22m)
After three years out on loan the Belgian is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and has delighted in proving that so far this season.
