Premier League Golden Glove Standings: Top Goalkeepers with Most Clean Sheets in 2026-27

The upcoming 2026-27 Premier League season promises plenty of action and unforgettable moments. Arsenal, aiming to keep their top-flight crown, rely heavily on solid defense as much as goal-scoring. The goalkeeper David Raya exemplifies this, having shared the Golden Glove award multiple times in recent years.

This award goes annually to the keeper with the most clean sheets during the league season. Here's the latest update on who leads this prestigious race.

Current Golden Glove Rankings (After Matches on August 24)

Leading Candidates and Betting Odds for the Golden Glove 2026-27

David Raya remains the clear favorite to claim the Golden Glove again, reflecting Arsenal's reputation as one of Europe's strongest defensive sides. Close contenders include Gianluigi Donnarumma from Manchester City and Liverpool's Alisson Becker. Donnarumma was runner-up last season but faced a tough start after conceding three goals to Arsenal in the FA Community Shield. Alisson missed much of last year through injury, which affected his standing.
