Pickford achieved the milestone as Everton earned a 0-0 draw at Tottenham on Saturday. This feat puts him in an elite group of Premier League goalkeepers, with only one player, Petr Cech, having achieved more than 200 clean sheets in the league. Cech holds the record with 202 clean sheets, a considerable margin ahead of his closest rival, David James.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal stopper was also the fastest to 100 clean sheets. Liverpool's Alisson was the last goalkeeper prior to Pickford to join the 100 club, securing his century of top-flight clean sheets during a 0-0 draw with Leeds on 1 January 2026. Newcastle's Nick Pope is the next Premier League player in line to reach 100, sitting on 80 clean sheets, but is yet to feature this season after losing his number one spot in the team to Lukas Hornicek.
Goalkeepers must play a full match to be credited with a clean sheet. The Premier League clean sheet 100 club is an exclusive group, with only 18 other goalkeepers having achieved this milestone. Pickford's achievement is a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport.
