The players that have been the strongest at the back in the English top flight.
As Liverpool have found out to their detriment, winning the Premier League is as much to do with keeping clean-sheets as it is to scoring a bagful of goals.
This season has seen some fine defensive performances and fanatix has picked out those at the back that have kept the most clean-sheets.
8=. Pablo Zabaleta, Manchester City – 14 clean-sheets
The Argentine has been the only real stalwart in the City back line, despite the fact captain Vincent Kompany was the one voted into the PFA Team of the Year.
Zabaleta has now been at the Etihad Stadium since 2008 and is considered by many to be the finest right-back in the division.
