3. Wojciech Szczesny
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has been criticised in the past for his lack of consistency and often delayed reactions, but this season he has been one of the most improved figures in the Premier League, starting every game so far for leaders and title chasers Arsenal. As like every player, he has been susceptible to the odd mistake, but no more than most, as he has kept Emiliano Viviano out of the first team, who is in most people’s eyes, a better goalkeeper. Finally the replacement for Jens Lehmann the Gunners have been seeking, the Poland international could take Petr Cech’s throne of the best Premier League goalkeeper when the Czech hangs up his boots.
