Thibaut Courtois has been one of the worst ball distributors of any of the main keepers in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea's Belgian shot stopper has an overall pass accuracy of just 45 per cent in league games this season, according to figures provided by Opta.

That's worse than all but four other keepers to have played at least 10 times in the division this campaign.

Only Kasper Schmeichel (35%), Declan Rudd (41%) and Vito Mannone (43%) have worse passing accuracy figures than Courtois.

The best passing keeper though is Tottenham's Hugo Lloris who has a passing accuracy of 63% this season.

Simon Mignolet has the next best passing accuracy at 61% followed by Petr Cech with 60%.
