If Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier keeps a clean sheet in tonights fixture against Wolves he will set a new Premier League record.
One more Premier League shutout will earn Meslier his eight of the season in what has been a breakout year for the young French Keeper.
This would give hime the title of the most clean sheets by any Premier League goalkeeper in a single season before their 21st birthday.
The Leeds shotstopper is currently tied with Joe Hart who managed 7 for Manchester City in the 2007/08 season.
Time is ticking for the 20 year old though, who celebrates his 21st birthday on March the 2nd.
Meslier now has only 3 matches against Wolves, Southampton & Aston Villa to break the 14-year-old record.
After already keeping out the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa & Everton it would come as no surprise to see him reach this milestone
It has been a positive campaign for Meslier so far, who signed for Leeds permanently after an initial loan from FC Lorient .
He has since replaced the experienced Kiko Casilla and been dubbed one of the best young goalkeepers in the Premier League.
Leeds currently sit 11th in the table on their return to the top flight but can leapfrog Arsenal and move into 10th with a win tonight.
