Arsenal is on the verge of surpassing Liverpool's legendary record

Arsenal stands ready to shatter England’s historic record by securing nine straight victories without conceding a goal.

Arsenal is currently enjoying a brilliant run, continuously breaking the club’s historic milestones. Their 3-0 win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League midweek not only strengthened their position but also extended their clean sheet streak to eight games, a new club record.

Notably, this victory also marked a historic moment as young talent Max Dowman became the youngest player to appear in the Champions League. However, what excites Arsenal fans the most is the team’s outstanding defensive performance under Mikel Arteta, placing them alongside Liverpool in the annals of English football records.

Statistics show Arsenal has achieved eight consecutive wins without conceding, matching a record set by Liverpool in 1920, over a century ago. In the past 100+ years, only Chelsea (2005) and Liverpool (2020) have come close with seven consecutive clean sheets, highlighting how remarkable Arsenal’s feat is.

Now, just one more win will see Arsenal claim the top spot in the record books with nine consecutive clean sheet victories, a feat no English club has ever accomplished. But ahead lies a tough challenge against Sunderland, a newly promoted side showing impressive form in the Premier League.

After a long absence from the top tier, Sunderland has returned with strong momentum. Led by a young coach with smart tactics, the “Black Cats” have not only secured important wins but also demonstrated cohesive team play.

Sunderland has failed to score in three of their ten matches this season, all away games. Therefore, Arsenal will face a real test if they want to keep a clean sheet against the home side’s attacking pressure.

Before this away game, coach Mikel Arteta acknowledged the need for the team to maintain utmost focus. “We are in good form, but Sunderland is not to be underestimated. They have great determination and confidence when playing at home,” the Spanish coach stated.

A victory over Sunderland would not only mean three points but could also allow Arsenal to rewrite English football history. However, to achieve this, Arteta and his players must overcome immense pressure from the stands and sustain their flawless performance for another 90 minutes.
