Arsenals Defensive Dominance Reaches Historic Heights in England Premier League

Arsenal under Mikel Arteta have set a new English top-flight record by keeping six consecutive clean sheets in a single month, including a 2-0 win over Brighton. Led by Gabriel and William Saliba, the Gunners boast the world’s most valuable defense worth over €1.31 billion, rivaling Liverpool’s all-time record of 11 consecutive shutouts from 2005.

For the month of October 2025, Arsenal have achieved a remarkable defensive milestone, keeping six consecutive clean sheets across all competition, the first English top-flight team to do so within a single month. Under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have become one of the most disciplined defensive units in world football. Their centre-back duo of William Saliba (€80m) and Gabriel Magalhães (€75m) continues to form a strong foundation, supported by Jurriën Timber (€60m) and new recruits like Riccardo Calafiori (€40m) and Piero Hincapié (€50m).

Arsenal’s total squad value now stands at an impressive €1.31 billion, the highest in the Premier League. Historically, Liverpool hold the record for the most consecutive clean sheets across all competitions with 11 under Rafael Benítez in 2005, followed by Manchester United’s run of eight in 2004-05. While Arsenal’s current streak ranks within the top ten, their defensive dominance highlights the balance Arteta has built since taking charge in 2019.

Across Europe, Arsenal’s consistency places them alongside elite clubs, with players like Declan Rice (€120m), Bukayo Saka (€140m), and Martin Ødegaard (€80m) anchoring both ends of the pitch. Their next challenge will be sustaining this defensive perfection as they aim to chase Liverpool’s all-time record.
