Just Keepers – The Number Ones Number One

Bernd Leno Keeps 5th Consecutive Clean Sheet

Bernd Leno kept his 5th consecutive clean sheet last night as Arsenal coasted to a 3-0 victory over Newcastle at the Emirates.

This is Arsenals longest run without conceding a goal for over a decade, with the last time this happened being in 2009.

After a rocky start to the season Arsenal have finally began to gain some momentum and Leno has been key to this recent success.

Although the German international had little to do in the match, his previous performances would have no doubt instilled confidence into the Gunners back line.

The 28 year old now has 7 Premier League clean sheets under his belt this season and has conceded just 1 goal in his last 615 minutes of football.

He sits behind only Ederson (9) and former teammate Emiliano Martínez (8) in the golden glove rankings.

Arsenal moved into the top half of the Premier table for the first time in over 2 months with yesterdays victory.

They travel to either Southampton or Shrewsbury this weekend in the FA Cup 4th round where Leno will be hoping to continue his fine form.

Fraser Forster Set For Premier League Return

Fraser Forster is set to make his first Premier League appearance since 2019 in tonight’s fixture against Liverpool.

This comes after news broke that Southampton number one, Alex McCarthy had tested positive for Covid-19.

McCarthy had been in good form, keeping 7 clean sheets so far this season including 3 in his last 5 games.

His absence will undoubtedly be a blow for The Saints, although it was confirmed that he was the only player in the squad to test positive.

Ralph Hasenhüttl has hinted at Forster’s return saying “I think Fraser is a very good alternative…He really wants to play now and was waiting for his chance.”

This will be Forster’s first Premier League appearance since May 2019, where he suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of West Ham.

The 32 year old spent last season on loan at former club Celtic where he made 28 league appearances.

It was ultimately a successful loan spell, with Neil Lennon’s side winning their 51st Scottish League title.

Southampton have enjoyed a good start to the campaign and currently lie 9th in the league table.

Fraser Forster has also kept a clean sheet in four of his last five matches against Liverpool, which could give the keeper some confidence on his return.
