Image:Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has been ever-present this season
Seven Premier League goalkeepers have played every minute of their team's matches so far this season, including Stoke City's Butland and Arsenal's Cech. Lloris missed Spurs' opening day 1-0 defeat at Manchester United but has played every game in the Premier League since then, helping his club record the best defensive record in the division - Tottenham have conceded just 16 goals in 20 games.

Thibaut Courtois
Injury-hit Thibaut Courtois has played just 772 minutes so far this season, less than half the number of minutes of Joe Hart, Hugo Lloris and ever-present pair Petr Cech and Jack Butland. David de Gea - who wasn't played until September - has racked up 1440 minutes in goal for Manchester United.
As a result, he has made far fewer saves - just 26. However, his save percentage (70.27 per cent) and passing accuracy (41.04 per cent) are worse than the other goalkeepers, while he has dropped the ball (twice) more times than Cech, De Gea and Hart.
Unlike the other goalkeepers, though, he has saved a penalty - denying James Morrison in Chelsea's 3-2 win at West Brom.
Saves

Butland has made more saves than any other Premier League goalkeeper this season, dealing with an average of 3.85 shots on target per match. Cech's 66 saves - the third highest in the Premier League - shows just how much Arsenal have relied on him. He's made 25 more saves than Manchester City's Hart.

Drops
Image: David De Gea of Manchester United has dropped the ball just once this season
He may excel when it comes to shot-saving stats, but Butland has dropped the ball three times. Lloris has done so twice, while Cech, De Gea and Hart have done so just once this season. Leicester City's Kasper Schmeichel and Chelsea's Asmir Begovic are the only 'keepers in the division who have played over 10 games and are still yet to spill a cross or shot.
