The Spanish shot-stopper, who claimed the Golden Glove thanks to keeping 13 clean sheets this term, could add more silverware to his collection should he also scoop this gong, which sees him up against all the other winners of the monthly divisional award.
David won two of those last term – one back in August thanks to his incredible stop against Aston Villa, and then back in March when he managed to secure us a point at Manchester United in dramatic fashion, and supporters can vote for their favourite of that pair now to help him claim the prize.
He was at his best early on in the campaign at Villa Park when a deflected shot sent him scrambling towards his goalline, and after the ball cannoned off the crossbar it fell kindly to Ollie Watkins to simply head home.
However from a seemingly-stranded position on his goalline, David leapt up to tip away the England striker’s header and set us on our way to a 2-0 victory.
Then six months later at Old Trafford and the game in injury time, Rasmus Hojlund pulled the ball back for Bruno Fernandes to shoot, and David made the block before scrambling back towards his goalline to hook the spinning ball away to ensure we left the north-west with a draw.
The man in the opposition goal that day, Andre Onana, also has two nominations for the Save of the Season award, as does Bournemouth’s Kepa Arrizabalaga. Robert Sanchez of Chelsea, Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, Newcastle United veteran Martin Dubravka and Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario are the other keepers hoping to get their gloves on the silverware.
