Petr Cech is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season, it has been statistically proven.

The Arsenal stopper has made more saves per goal conceded than any other 'keeper in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old Cech signed for Arsenal from Chelsea during the summer for £11m, and has played in every minute in the league for the Gunners this season.

Arsenal are five points better off this season this season than they were last season after 10 games, having picked up 22 points this season with Petr Cech between the sticks as opposed to the 17 points they managed last season.

The Czech goalkeeper is hoping to add to his two Premier League titles he won with Chelsea as the Gunners aim to win the the league for the first time since 'The Invincibles' of 2004.
