Ranking the 5 clubs with the most consecutive clean sheets in Premier League history

#3 Liverpool: 8 clean sheets (2005/06)

Pepe Reina had a phenomenal start to his Premier League career

Although Liverpool’s superiority over the past few seasons has been evident, the Reds’ weren’t always this commanding in the Premier League era. Arsenal and Manchester United were the kings of the noughties, with other teams hardly getting a chance at winning the coveted silverware.

Liverpool were, however, a rejuvenated side in the 2005/06 season after their glorious Champions League win in Istanbul.

This was Pepe Reina’s first season with the Reds, having signed for them from Villareal. Liverpool were defensively solid mid-season, keeping eight clean sheets in a row. Rafa Benitez’s men matched the Reds' previous record, which came in the 1922-93 season.

The season turned out to be a successful one for Liverpool as they won the FA Cup and finished the league in a respectable third position. Pepe Reina starred in the FA Cup final, saving three out of four penalties in the shootout.

#2 Chelsea: 10 clean sheets (2004-05)

Petr Cech's performances in the 2004-05 season were outstanding

Chelsea’s 2004-05 team is amongst the best ever in Premier League history. The Blues put in dominant performances consistently and went on to claim their second league title. Chelsea finished the season with 95 points, which is the fifth-highest points tally in top-flight history.

Petr Cech was a key member of the Blues’ side that season. The Czech international, aided by his robust defense, kept 10 consecutive clean sheets. This was a league record at the time. Chelsea put on a defensive masterclass that season and lost only one game in the entire campaign, to Manchester City.

Petr Cech went on to win the inaugural Premier League Golden Glove after keeping 24 clean sheets in total, and his record still stands. Chelsea were extremely hard to break down and they conceded just 15 goals in the entire season, which is also a league record.

#1 Manchester United: 14 clean sheets (2008-09)

Edwin van der Sar is one of the greatest goalkeepers in Premier League history

Manchester United continued their nineties' league dominance into the 2000s as well. The Red Devils conquered the English top-flight thanks to both attacking prowess and defensive strength. Sir Alex Ferguson created a team of mentality monsters that fought tooth and nail for every piece of silverware that was on the line.

The 2008-09 season saw United win their third of three consecutive Premier League titles. While a 24-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was the Red Devils’ leading goalscorer with 18 goals, United’s defense was also quite exceptional.

Edwin van der Sar, backed by the center-back pairing of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, formed a rock-solid backline. They kept 14 consecutive clean sheets together, a Premier League record that is yet to be broken. United also won the League Cup and the Club World Cup, marking the end of a highly successful season.
