Swansea City’s Lukasz Fabianski is one of five goalkeepers going into the final day of the season with a chance of winning the Premier League’s Golden Glove.

The Pole, along with Southampton’s Fraser Forster, Manchester City’s Joe Hart and Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet are all joint top on 13 clean sheets. Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois, who has two games left to play, is one further back on 12.

If no man earns the award outright it will be shared. The award would crown a fabulous season for Fabianski with the Swans’ No.1 joining on a free transfer from Arsenal last summer.

If 30-year-old Fabianski or indeed Forster manage to win it, the achievement would be doubly significant as no player outside Premier League’s ‘big five’ of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United has ever won the Golden Glove.

The injured Forster will not play on Sunday though, so can only now take a share. Fabianski plays away with the Swans at Crystal Palace, Hart is at home to Southampton while Mignolet is away to Stoke.

Courtois would be guaranteed at least a share with clean sheets against West Brom tonight and Sunderland on Sunday, though it could be that Petr Cech plays at Stamford Bridge on the final day to say farewell to Chelsea after 11 years at the club.

There has been some confusion over the number by Mignolet’s name, as he replaced the injured Brad Jones in the 16th minute of the 1-0 win at Burnley on December 26. But official clean sheets are only awarded for players who play the full game.

The Golden Glove has only once been shared since it was first awarded in 2004-05, when Cech and Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczesny were level on 16 clean sheets last season.

This season is also certain of being the lowest number required to win, with last season’s total of 16 previously holding that record.

Cech, Hart and Pepe Reina (Liverpool) have the most Golden Glove wins with three each, while Cech (2004-05) and Man United’s Edwin van der Sar (2008-09) have the joint-highest number in one season with 21.

In the 10 years of the award, only four times has the goalkeeper of the league champions won it - Cech (2004-05, 2009-10), Van der Sar (2008-09) and Hart (2011-12).
