#LIVARS Preview:

Lots of discussion about #Leno’s ability since #Martinez’s departure but #Leno has some very impressive numbers...

Of the big 6 GKs he’s the most well rounded shot preventer as he frequently prevents chances by sweeping throughballs & by claiming crosses.

This graphic takes into account all successful attempts to deal with crosses & throughballs. Times the GK was beaten to the ball/cleared the ball into danger do not count as chances prevented.

It lines up pretty well with public perception too.

#Alisson & #Ederson are very active sweepers & prevent lots of shots from ever occurring due to this.

#Lloris is very active on crosses but rarely sweeps while #DeGea & #Kepa rarely sweep up & rarely deal with crosses.
