2 min
Players with Most Premier League Clean Sheets

The most Premier League clean sheets record highlights the defensive prowess of top goalkeepers who have shut out opponents across decades of intense competition. Petr Čech stands as the all-time leader with 202 clean sheets, a remarkable achievement primarily earned during his stints at Chelsea and Arsenal. This statistic underscores not just individual brilliance but also the strength of team defenses behind them. Clean sheets remain a coveted metric, reflecting reliability under pressure in one of the world's toughest leagues.

Since the Premier League's inception in 1992, goalkeepers have battled high-scoring attackers week in, week out. Čech's record, set over 443 appearances, boasts a 45.6% clean sheet rate, the best for any keeper with 200+ games. His 162 shutouts for Chelsea alone set another benchmark for a single club. Rivals like David James amassed 169 through sheer longevity across 572 games. These feats celebrate shot-stopping mastery amid evolving tactics and fiercer offenses. Modern keepers like David de Gea (147) are also in the list of most clean sheets in Premier League history, but Čech's throne looks secure.
