Overview
- Raya locked in at least a share of the award after Manchester City’s 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday led to a concession from Gianluigi Donnarumma.
- The Golden Glove goes to the goalkeeper with the most Premier League shutouts, and Raya leads with 17 while Donnarumma sits on 13 with four matches left.
- He can win it outright with a clean sheet in any of Arsenal’s three remaining games, including a derby at West Ham this weekend.
- Arsenal’s defensive shape under Mikel Arteta has been key, with William Saliba and Gabriel anchoring a back line that has allowed a league-low 26 goals.
- This is Raya’s third consecutive Golden Glove, a run matched only by Pepe Reina, Joe Hart and Ederson, and it follows last season’s shared award with Matz Sels as he sets a personal best for shutouts.
