Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mats Sels has been the talk of the town for his goalkeeping performances this season... but it is Leicester's Mads Hermansen who has the highest number of goals prevented. And by a hefty margin too.

Based on the quality of the shots on target that Hermansen has faced this season, Opta expect him to have conceded 35.44 goals.

He has actually conceded just 29, which leaves him with a net positive goals prevented stat of 6.44.

He is followed by Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers - though that is from a very small data set as he has only made five appearances.

Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson, West Ham's Lukasz Fabianski and Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario complete the top five, with Mats Sels next.
