Peter Schmeichel, Brad Friedel, Paul Robinson,Tim Howard and Asmir Begovic are all keepers who have scored in the Premier League. Will Ederson join that exclusive club?
Well, Manchester City's No.1 is desperate to get on the score-sheet.
So much so he really, really wanted to take the penalty his side received on the weekend against Swansea City.

Gabriel Jesus, ultimately, stepped up. But he fluffed his lines from the spot with Bernardo Silva eventually scoring from the rebound.
Though, when Raheem Sterling was bundled over and won a penalty, City fans immediately broke into a chant, asking Ederson to take it.
And the Brazilian stopper is extremely confident of converting a penalty.

"I heard them chanting my name, asking me to take the penalty, but Gabriel went there," he said via Goal.
"Unfortunately he missed it and Bernardo [Silva], fortunately, scored, but if the manager had asked me to go there, I would have definitely scored."
The 24-year-old, who was nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year, has enjoyed a superb debut season in England's top flight since his £35 million summer switch from Benfica.

He's become renown for his incredible distribution. Casually pinging 50-yard passes at will.
And while free-kicks are probably out of his realm, Ederson is definitely game for a penalty.
"I'm not sure if I would be able to do set-pieces, but I'm good at penalties, either using power or technique when I'm shooting," he said.
So far, Sergio Aguero, Ilkay Gundogan and Sterling have successfully put away a penalty this campaign for City. But if Pep Guardiola turns to Ederson, he'll 100% oblige.

"City have their regular penalty takers and we have good options, but if Pep asks me to take it, I'm there. Hopefully it will happen (before the end of the season), I'd like to score."
He's holding out for a penalty. Do it, Pep.
Will Ederson get a goal before the seasons out? Watch this space.
