Shay Given would pick Manchester Citys Ederson over Liverpools Alisson.The Brazilian goalkeepers are fighting it out for the no.1 shirt in the national team, with Alisson preferred to Ederson by manager Tite.4

Ederson and Alisson are battling it out to be Brazil’s no1 goalkeeper

But former Newcastle and City goalkeeper Given, who made 451 appearances in the Premier League during a 21-year career, loves watching Ederson play.He told talkSPORT: Theyre both Brazilian and theyre challenging for the number one shirt in Brazil and Alisson has that at the minute.But Ive been doing some TV games for Man City and I just love watching Ederson play, I really do.4

Ederson’s distribution is outstanding

Hes so composed when he has the ball and he plays exactly how Pep Guardiola wants to play, he wants to attract opposition players out of position.There could be two or three players closing Ederson down and youre thinking right, this could be panic stations now, but hes the calmest man in the stadium.4

Alisson has kept more clean sheets than Ederson this season

He was in a central midfielders position [against Wolves] and played a one-two with Fernandinho and everyone was like get back in your goal! He just jogged back, if that was me, Id be sprinting back to get into my box.I think I did one or two Cruyff turns in my career. But he does stepovers and rollovers, Ive not seen a nutmeg yet but I think its probably around the corner – hes that cool on the ball.4

Shay Given is working at Derby County as a goalkeeping coach

Alisson is leading the way for the Premier League Golden Glove award with 13 clean sheets, while Ederson trails with 10. Given, who is the head goalkeeping coach at Derby County, added: Taking away the stuff with his feet, Edersons improved so much with his hands and makes big saves in big moments in games.He makes it look easy, thats a skill in itself, you can dive and roll around seven times and make it look better than it was, but Edersons got that calmness and does what needs to be done.He doesnt shout and rave at people, hes a calming influence at the back.
