Joe Hart claimed his 100th clean sheet in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday when Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at the Etihad . He became the 14th goalkeeper to pass the milestone but has some way to go before he can claim the crown , currently held by David James with 169 . Yet at the age of 27 , Hart has plenty of time left to make his way through the list that includes Peter Schmeichel , David Seaman and Edwin van der Sar . Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart kept his 100th clean sheet against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday . Hart 's clean sheet could have gone when Saido Berahino had this chance but the striker hit the crossbar . David James ( left ) and Petr Cech ( right ) lead the list of the most Premier League clean sheets . James , current player-manager for Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters , got his 169 from a career that saw him play for Liverpool , Aston Villa , West Ham , Manchester City and Portsmouth . Chelsea 's Petr Cech would most likely have passed that total , had he not lost his place as first-choice goalkeeper to 22-year-old Thibaut Courtois under Jose Mourinho . Third-placed Mark Schwarzer left Chelsea for Leicester City on a free transfer in January as cover for the injured Kasper Schmeichel , whose dad Peter sits ninth in the list . Yet Schwarzer is running out of time to close in on Cech with the 42-year-old - the oldest player to feature in the Premier League this season - set to be relegated as Leicester sit bottom . Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard , having conceded five against Dynamo Kiev during their Europa League exit on Thursday , will look to move up the list before the 36-year-old retires . As for Hart , the man that thwarted Barcelona 's Lionel Messi in the Champions League last week , he will now chase Thomas Sorensen and Jussi Jaaskelainen on 107 and 108 respectively . He will next be able to do so against Crystal Palace on April 6 after the international break with England . Lionel Messi tries to score past goalkeeper Hart during Barcelona 's Champions League win over City . Hart kept Messi , currently the world 's best player , out during City 's visit to the Nou Camp in Barcelona .
Manchester City beat Etihad 3-0 in the Premier League . Joe Hart became the 14th goalkeeper to earn 100 clean sheets in the top flight . David James leads the way with 169 with the most clean sheets .
