Despite looking decidedly dodgy in Gameweek 29 against Man Utd, conceding two goals through goalkeeping errors, it is Man City who are projected as the side most likely to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 30. City host Burnley at the Etihad Stadium and are given a 51.4% chance of keeping a clean sheet against the Clarets. Goalkeeper Ederson (£6.0m) is expected to bounce back following a poor performance in the Manchester derby, whilst full-back Kyle Walker (£5.7m) could come back into the side. Man City have kept three clean sheets in their last five Premier League matches.

Behind Man City come Sheffield Utd, who are the second side most likely keep a clean sheet, projected at 39.2%. The Blades have kept ten Premier League clean sheets so far this season. The central defensive trio of John Egan (£4.6m), Chris Basham (£4.5m) and Jack O'Connell (£4.7m) have been rocks at the back and behind them, goalkeeper Dean Henderson (£5.2m) has shown inspired form all season. They travel to Newcastle in Gameweek 30, who have scored just once in their last five Premier League matches. The top four is rounded off by Liverpool and Chelsea, who are both given a 35.5% of keeping a clean sheet away at Everton and Aston Villa respectively.
