Arsenal - Clean Sheet Kings
Remarkably, four of those shutouts have come in their last four away matches, a testament to the organisation and discipline instilled by manager Mikel Arteta.
The stalemate against City was a potential title decider, with the reigning champions held to a goalless draw by Arteta's well-drilled side.
The result saw Arsenal drop from first to second in the table, two points behind league leaders Liverpool, who defeated Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1.
Arsenal have been the standout defensive team in the Premier League this season, with their backline led by the impressive duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, a revelation after their ability to keep clean sheets.
The Gunners' defensive resilience has not gone unnoticed, with pundits and fans alike praising the team's ability to stifle the attacking threat of the reigning champions.
As the season progresses, Arsenal's ability to maintain their defensive solidity will be crucial to their hopes of challenging for and potentially winning the Premier League title.
For now, though, the Gunners can take pride in their status as the "clean sheet kings" of the league, a reputation that has been hard-earned through their disciplined and organised defensive performances.
