Can Arsenal finally keep a clean sheet?

This is something that Arsenal’s much-improved defense has yet to be able to do in the last three games in all competitions.

Considering how tight it is at the top of the league in terms of goal difference (Arsenal +28, City +32), a chance to close the gap while having a game in hand could prove to be just as valuable as a win for Arteta’s side.

Ramsdale sits second for clean sheets with nine, three behind Newcastle’s Nick Pope on 12, and adding another on Saturday will go a long way to Arsenal grabbing three points and stopping its mini slide.
