Pickford joins Premier League clean sheet 100 club

What the report says

Jordan Pickford has reached a notable milestone in Premier League history, becoming only the 19th goalkeeper to record 100 clean sheets in the competition. BBC Sport reported that the Everton goalkeeper joined the group when his team drew 0-0 with Tottenham on Saturday. The clean sheet also underlines Pickford’s long run as Everton’s first-choice keeper and adds another marker of consistency to his top-flight career.

The BBC’s Ask Me Anything feature used Pickford’s achievement to revisit the league’s all-time clean-sheet standings. Petr Cech remains well clear at the top with 202 Premier League clean sheets, while David James is second on 169. The article noted that only one goalkeeper has passed 200, and that Cech also holds several other records, including the quickest route to 100 clean sheets and the highest clean-sheet percentage among goalkeepers with substantial Premier League experience.

Pickford is the latest active goalkeeper to join the 100-club, following Liverpool’s Alisson, who reached the mark in January 2026. Other current players mentioned as being in range include Newcastle’s Nick Pope, who is on 80. BBC Sport also pointed out that a clean sheet is only credited if a goalkeeper plays the full match, which helps explain why these milestones are treated as significant measures of durability and performance.
