Mark Schwarzer is one of the greatest goalkeepers to have played in the Premier League.

The former Australian international played over 500 games in the competition for four different clubs during a career spanning almost two decades. Schwarzer is one of only three custodians with at least 150 clean sheets in the competition.

Although he was in Leicester City's 2015-16 title-winning squad, he did not receive a winner's medal, as he made no appearances that season.

Petr Cech is arguably the best goalkeeper to have played in the Premier League. He is the only custodian in the competition's history to keep over 200 clean sheets.

Cech made his name as a world-class custodian during a hugely successful 11-season stint with Chelsea. He enjoyed a blistering debut campaign, keeping a record 24 clean sheets to power the Blues to consecutive Premier League titles.

The four-time Premier League winner kept at least ten clean sheets in all but one of his 11 campaigns in the competition with the Blues.

After leaving Chelsea in the summer of 2015, Cech enjoyed a late swansong with Arsenal. He recorded his landmark 200th Premier League clean sheet in the 2017-18 season. His last clean sheet in the competition came a few months later against Watford.
