da heads bet: A gripping debate in English football over the past few years has been who is the better goalkeeper, Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois or Manchester United’s David De Gea.

da fezbet: Both formerly of Atletico Madrid, the pair are rated as two of the finest young goalkeepers in world football and Courtois already boasts a Premier League title, although De Gea’s performances in recent years have seen many rate him as better.

A matter of opinion for many, Courtois has himself had his stay on the goalkeeper- telling Belgian TV what the Spaniard is better than him at.

‘He has very good reflexes. On his line, he is one of the best. But I am also.’

This season, De Gea has been a stand-out star in what has been an extremely difficult season for Manchester United, whilst Courtois has excelled in recent weeks after keeping consecutive clean-sheets to push Chelsea to second in the standings.

Come the end of the season, we may have a better idea which of these two players is better.
