Premier League Golden Glove: Updated 2025/26 clean sheet standings as Raya remains top

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya continues to set the pace in the race for the 2025/26 Premier League Golden Glove, maintaining the outright lead in clean sheets as the season unfolds. The award, presented annually to the goalkeeper with the most shut-outs, has become a familiar battleground for Raya, who shared last season’s prize with Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels after both men recorded 13 clean sheets.

Raya’s previous outright triumph in 2023/24 underlined the defensive resilience that has become a hallmark of recent Arsenal sides, and early evidence from the current campaign suggests the Spaniard will again take some catching. With every matchday now monitored by The Sporting News, the updated standings will reflect each goalkeeper’s pursuit of the league’s most prestigious individual honour between the posts.

Introduced in 2004/05, the Golden Glove has been shared on three previous occasions, most recently in 2021/22 when Manchester City’s Ederson and Liverpool’s Alisson both finished with 20 clean sheets. Prior to 2013/14, a tiebreaker based on the ratio of clean sheets to matches played would have separated joint leaders; since then, identical tallies result in the award being shared.

Chelsea legend Petr Cech remains the benchmark for single-season excellence, having registered 24 clean sheets in the competition’s inaugural Golden Glove campaign. Whether Raya can threaten that record—or merely fend off a fresh challenge from a rival keeper—will be charted throughout the remaining months of the 2025/26 season.
