Few Premier League fixtures can define careers quite as readily as when Liverpool and Manchester United do battle. The unparalleled global allure for a match between two English clubs means any contribution - both good and bad - is often far more amplified than any other time.

And often such focus can fall on goalkeepers, with saves more widely cherished and mistakes more intensely scrutinised. As anyone who steps in between the sticks will readily agree, the margin between fame and infamy is often slight.

Both Liverpool and United have been blessed with quality goalkeepers throughout the Premier League era, the Reds having boasted Pepe Reina and current number one Alisson Becker while down the other end of the East Lancs Road the names of Peter Schmeichel, Edwin van der Sar and David de Gea remain revered.
