Which goalkeeper has the most Premier League clean sheets?

Which goalkeeper has the most Premier League clean sheets? Petr Čech holds the record, with 202 clean sheets.

Čech collected those shutouts across 443 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and Arsenal. His record is especially notable because it spans two clubs and nearly 15 years, from his Chelsea debut in 2004 until his final Premier League season with Arsenal in 2018–19.

He made an immediate impact at Chelsea, keeping a league-record 24 clean sheets in the 2004–05 season as José Mourinho’s side won the title. Čech also won the Premier League Golden Glove four times, including the inaugural award in 2004–05. The Golden Glove recognises the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a particular season, while this question concerns the career total.

A common mix-up is confusing Čech’s career record with the single-season record. His 202 career clean sheets are more than those of other famous Premier League goalkeepers such as David James, Mark Schwarzer and David Seaman. Čech also won four Premier League titles with Chelsea and remains one of the competition’s most decorated goalkeepers.
