Top seven Premier League goalkeepers with most clean sheets after 100 games for single club ft. Raya & Čech

These goalkeepers have set exceptionally high standards in the Premier League.

Being a goalkeeper is a difficult job.

You will receive a brief round of applause if you make an outstanding save to secure a crucial victory. You’ll never hear the end of it if you make a simple error that every outfield player gets away with regularly.

Being acknowledged as one of the best is, therefore, such a unique accomplishment. It requires years of excellence, consistency, mental toughness, and the capacity to perform under extreme pressure.

Goalkeepers with the most clean sheets after 100 Premier League appearances for a single club

7. David Raya: 43

David Raya joined an elite group of goalkeepers following his clean sheet in his 100th Premier League appearance. The Spanish custodian has been Arsenal‘s mainstay since arriving at the club and the preferred choice between the posts.

Furthermore, since joining the Gunners, his 43 clean sheets are at least 13 more than any other current Premier League goalkeeper. He will be looking to win his maiden title this season as the Gunners continue their quest for their first-ever Premier League title since 2003.

6. Edwin van der Sar: 43

When Edwin van der Sar, then 34, was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2005, many took notice. At the time, both supporters and analysts questioned if the Dutchman still had the longevity or quality needed to be Manchester United‘s unchallenged top goalie.

He firmly put an end to those doubts. He had won four Premier League titles, two Golden Gloves, and three spots on the PFA Team of the Year by the time he left six years later. His efforts most memorably helped United win the Champions League in 2008.

5. Peter Schmeichel: 44

Peter Schmeichel was the most fearsome goalkeeper on this list when it came to the pure technique of making saves. When a goal appeared imminent, the Great Dane moved in ways that defied sense, somehow twisting his body to keep the ball out.

During Manchester United’s most prosperous modern era, Schmeichel was a constant difference-maker, facilitating the team win five league titles, three FA Cups, and the Champions League. He was extremely swift off his line and had a commanding physical and vocal influence.

4. Alisson Becker: 44

Alisson Becker has often served as the Reds’ proverbial final line of defence since joining the team in 2018, saving them from impending catastrophe.

Alisson has a talent for delivering when the stakes are highest, as evidenced by his miraculous penalty stop in the 2022 FA Cup final and his streak of outstanding saves in pivotal Champions League nights. He kept 13 clean sheets throughout the injury-plagued 2019–20 season, helping Liverpool win their first Premier League championship with him.

Of course, there is also the iconic header against West Brom in the 90th minute of 2021, a dramatic moment that preserved Liverpool’s hopes of finishing in the top four. He may be the best goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen in one-on-one scenarios due to his poise and positioning.

3. Ederson: 46

The word “pioneer” is used far too frequently, but Ederson, a former goalkeeper for Manchester City, definitely qualifies. He significantly altered the expectations placed on goalkeepers worldwide.

The Premier League, and possibly the entire globe, had not witnessed distribution quite like the Brazilian’s before he arrived at the Etihad. He developed a tendency of daring to dribble within and outside his own penalty area, wandering out of his box near the halfway line to plan build-up play, and pinging precise long balls for amusement.

2. Pepe Reina: 54

There are only a few goalkeepers in Premier League history who can match Pepe Reina‘s save percentage. He was one of Liverpool’s best goalkeepers and played an important role at the club.

Despite having razor-sharp reflexes and being at ease with the ball at his feet, the Spaniard never quite won the trophy on Merseyside, frequently due to an unreliable back four in front of him. He is still a Premier League hero and a Liverpool icon, though.

1. Petr Čech: 59

With four Premier League titles with Chelsea, the lowest number of goals conceded in just one campaign (just 15 in 2004–05), and the most clean sheets in the history of the Premier League, also the highest clean sheets after 100 Premier League appearances for a single club, Petr Cech set the bar way high during his time in the league.

Even more amazing is the fact that he continued to perform at that level both statistically and subjectively after joining Arsenal, when he was no longer shielded by the greatest defence in league history.
