Arsenal’s Eight-Game Clean-Sheet Run Equals English Top-Flight Record Ahead of Sunderland Trip

The Gunners can set a standalone national mark with a ninth shutout at Sunderland on 8 November.

Overview

  • The eight consecutive clean sheets span the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup across October and early November.
  • A 3-0 win at Slavia Prague delivered the eighth shutout, breaking Arsenal’s club record of seven set under George Graham in 1987.
  • The run matches top-flight streaks last achieved by Preston North End in 1889 and Liverpool in 1920.
  • A clean sheet at the Stadium of Light would create an outright English record, with Sunderland having scored in all their home league matches this season.
  • Arsenal have conceded just three goals in 16 games and have won 10 straight, as Christian Norgaard says a love of defending is shaping the team’s identity while warning the streak will be difficult to maintain.
