#5 Emiliano Martinez – 22 saves
Emiliano Martinez has established himself as among the most talented goalkeepers in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal in the summer window of 2020. The Argentina international has played 81 league games for the Birmingham outfit so far and was named the Club’s Player of the Season during 2020-21. Martinez has registered 22 saves in seven Premier League appearances thus far this season. His form will be key for the Villians as they look to finish in the PL’s top half this season.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper is also a vital member of the Argentina national team. He has represented his nation 17 times since making his debut in 2021. He is likely to be La Albiceleste’s first-choice goalkeeper in Qatar.
