Both David de Gea (£5.5m) and Jordan Pickford (£5.5m) kept clean sheets in GW1 but it was the Man Utd goalkeeper who was clearly the busier of the two. He also had luck on his side as Chelsea struck the woodwork twice in 90 minutes at Old Trafford. Even down to ten men, Pickford only had two saves to make, compared to De Gea’s seven. With a home match on the horizon against a Watford side coming off a 0-3 home loss to Brighton, Pickford has to be favoured to outscore De Gea this week.
Verdict: Jordan Pickford
