Alisson Becker has been ranked as the best goalkeeper in the English Premier League according to UK outlet 90min
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson who has been sensational for the Citizens so far this season is second on the list
Despite being named the 2021 FIFA best goalkeeper as well as AFCON 2021 best shot-stopper, Chelsea's Edouard Mendy is ranked third

Despite winning the 2021 FIFA best goalkeeper award, Chelsea's number one shot-stopper Edouard Mendy occupies the third position in the latest ranking of Premier League goalkeepers.

The Senegalese goalkeeper who was also named the best goalkeeper at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations tournament might have dropped to third position as he has not been in action for the Blues since he joined the Teranga Lions for Africa’s biggest football prize.

Mendy also helped Chelsea to the FIFA Club World Cup title and dropped one spot in the rankings done by UK outlet 90min.

Liverpool’s Alisson Becker is still the best goalkeeper in the English Premier League at the moment as he has the perfect mix of positioning, leadership, distribution and experience needed to be a world-class stopper and he's showing no sign of slowing down.

In the second position is Manchester City’s Ederson who has been brilliant making remarkable saves this season.

Pep Guardiola must be delighted when he watched Ederson for the first time in his life, knowing that this was the goalkeeper he's spent his whole career searching for.

He might not be the greatest goalie in the world right now, no doubt that his efforts have been instrumental to what City have achieved in the English topflight so far this season.

COVID rules worry for Chelsea ahead of Champions League clash

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Chelsea could play their Champions League round of 16 tie against Lille without a number of their key players after Uefa updated their COVID-19 rules.

The Blues host Lille for the first leg on February 22, while the return leg is scheduled to be played in France on March 16.

But the reverse fixture faces some uncertainty, especially among the Chelsea squad, as France does not allow unvaccinated players into the country.
