Premier League all-time clean sheets - top 5 keepers

David Seaman - 141 Clean Sheets


David Seaman had played for several English clubs throughout his 20+ year long football career. When it comes to the Premier League though, it was his iconic time with Arsenal that saw him be included in this top 5 goalkeepers list for most clean sheets in the Premier League. Seaman had spent 13 years with the Gunners, winning a total of 9 titles and also keeping a total of 138 clean sheets for the club. Additionally, he also had a short stint with Manchester City, where he kept 3 more clean sheets and thus ended his Premier League Total with 141 before retirement.


David De Gea - 147 Clean Sheets


David De Gea is the only active player in this list, and that speaks volumes regarding how much of a legendary time he had in the Premier League. If anything, De Gea was just unfortunate to be mostly part of a Manchester United era that was past its glory years and was not managed by Sir Alex Ferguson. In fact, one can argue that United would've been in a worse state if not for the heroics of De Gea in various situations. With a total of 147 clean sheets, he ranks 4th in our list of goalkeepers with most clean sheets in the premier league.


Mark Schwarzer - 152 Clean Sheets


Mark Schwarzer will be one of those criminally underrated goalkeepers in the history of the Premier League, mostly due to the fact that he was never of a top English club for a long time. His biggest high-profile move in football was joining Chelsea from Fulham, which was towards the end of his career and he made very few appearances for the Blues. Apart from Chelsea and Fulham, he also played for Middlesbrough and Leicester City in the Premier League. His most successful stint was at Middlesbrough, where he spent over 11 years. In the end, he earned over 152 clean sheets with all these clubs, with 93 of those coming with Middlesbrough.


David James - 169 Clean Sheets


David James is one of those goalkeeping names that was familiar for football fans of the 90's era, as he was part of Liverpool back then for over 7 years. He was nothing less than a footballing nomad, having played not just for the Reds, but also Aston Villa, West Ham United, Manchester City, and Portsmouth in the Premier League. For the modern football fan, he is also known for his time as manager at Kerala Blasters FC in the Indian Super League in 2018, where he was a crowd favorite. He is second in the list with a total of 169 clean sheets.


Petr Čech - 202 Clean Sheets


The number 1 goalkeeper with most clean sheets in the Premier League is none other Petr Čech, who is widely considered by many to be the best ever goalkeeper in the history of the Premier League. Although he had played for Arsenal during the final years of his career, Čech is known for his iconic 11 year stint at Chelsea, during which he won 4 Premier League titles. He managed to keep a total of 202 clean sheets, thus also being the only goalkeeper to have achieved 200 clean sheets in the EPL.
