The Race to the Premier League Golden Gloves is On
Hello there and welcome to my page.
At the start of the season, who would have thought that things in the premier league would turn out to be the way they are right now?
At the start of the 2022/2023 season, Nick Pope was the favorite to win the golden gloves because his side was one of the teams that considered fewer goals. But everything changed when he got a suspension for 3 games after picking up a straight red card against Liverpool. Pope has been leading the race since January until David De Gea over toke him in just recent games. David De Gea's side has been one of the teams to have considered more goals this season. But then it’s not about the number of goals you’ve conceded.

David De Gea equaled Nick Pope's clean sheets in a game against Everton and then, later on, overtook him in a recent game against Nottingham Forest.
With less than 8 games to go, David De Gea is currently leading the Golden Gloves race with 14 clean sheets, followed by Nick Pope with 13 clean sheets, and Aaron Ramsdale who is currently at the 3rd spot with 12 clean sheets.
Nick Pope's side faces Tottenham Hotspurs this coming weekend which happens to be a tough match for both sides because they are both looking to secure a top 4 spot this season, if Pope manages to keep a clean sheet, he will be back at the top spot again.
Aaron Ramsdale's sides will be facing Southampton on Friday and if he manages to keep a clean sheet, he will overtake Nick Pope securing the second position with just 1 clean sheet of the top spot.
David De Gea’s side won’t be playing a premier league game this weekend which gives these two Goalkeepers an advantage of covering up the gaps and overtaking him.
Who do you think stands the chance of winning the 2022/2023 premier league golden gloves? Comment below with your predictions.
