Premier League clean sheets tracker: Raya and Sels share Golden Glove

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya was the winner of the Premier League Golden Glove award for 2023/24.

The Spaniard finished with 16 clean sheets, underlining the Gunners' defensive strength throughout a campaign in which they finished just short in a title race eventually won by Manchester City.

At the start of the season, Raya was thought likely be the man to beat again in 2024/25, with his main contenders expected to come in the form of Man City's Ederson and Liverpool No. 1 Alisson. However, Arsenal's early struggles opened the door for other more surprising challengers such as Andre Onana of Manchester United and Matz Sels of Nottingham Forest.

As the season has worn on, it's been Sels who has taken command of the race, helping lead Nottingham Forest into a challenge for a Champions League place. He's been chased closely by Raya, who has been a key component of Arsenal's smothering defence as they bid for a second-place finish in the Premier League while reaching the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

Everton's Jordan Pickford was runner-up in last season's Golden Glove race, and England's No. 1 and was firmly in the hunt. But who finished in top|?

There is no tiebreaker for the Premier League Golden Glove — players who finish level atop the standings would share the award. This changed from prior to the 2013/14 season when the tiebreaker was the radio of clean sheets to matches played.

What is the Premier League Golden Glove award?

The Golden Glove is awarded to the goalkeeper who keeps the most clean sheets in a single Premier League season. A 'clean sheet' refers to a full game in which a team does not concede a goal.

If more than one keeper has managed the same number of shutouts in a single season, the Golden Glove prize is shared. That happened in 2021/22 when Manchester City's Ederson and Liverpool's Alisson each kept 20 clean sheets for their respective sides.

The award has been given out every season since the 2004/05 campaign. Petr Cech of Chelsea was the first winner, managing 24 clean sheets in that campaign for Chelsea — a figure that is still the single-season record in the competition.

Last season, David Raya won the award after managing 16 shut-outs for Arsenal, who finished second in the standings behind champions Manchester City.
