Your matchday briefing on Arsenal, featuring team news and expert analysis from Matt Verri I would like to be emailed about offers, event and updates from Evening Standard. Read our privacy notice. Wind the clock back to November and Arsenal were eyeing Premier League history. A 2-0 win over Burnley meant that after ten matches, the Gunners had conceded just three goals. Chelsea's record of only 15 goals conceded across a league season has stood since then 2004-05 campaign and it appeared to be in genuine danger. That danger has now passed, Arsenal having conceded 17 goals in the league so far with 13 matches still to play. However, Mikel Arteta's remarkable defensive machine continues to chug on and a different landmark is in the club's sights. Manchester United hold the record for the most clean sheets kept by a Premier League side across all competitions. In the 2008-09 season, United played 66 matches and kept clean sheets in 36 of them.
