The Leicester City number one has collected four of his eight clean sheets in his last six games, highlighting the exceptional form he is currently experiencing. The 29-year-old has conceded just two goals since the turn of the year thanks to the 13 saves he has made. Leicester have recently gone five points clear at the top of the table with just 13 games to go, much owed to the in-form Dane. The Foxes go to the Emirates on Sunday, a side that have scored seven fewer goals at home than they have away (16 to 23).

Having registered 20 saves since the turn of the year, the Arsenal man has been the most active keeper in 2016.
