David Raya could become the first Spanish goalkeeper to keep five consecutive Premier League clean sheets and the ninth to do so in total in the competition. Ederson was the last to do so between February and April 2022.
Ups and downs
Ansu Fati and Valentin Barco are back in the squad after missing Wednesday's goalless draw against Brentford, but Adam Webster and Evan Ferguson are unavailable.

The English club decided not to renew the loan of the Spanish player, who will have to return to FC Barcelona at the end of the season. However, it is also said that the Blaugrana club is looking for a place for him in order for him to regain form and confidence, a situation that he could not achieve with the English, even Roberto de Zerbi separated him midweek with the justification of "getting in shape".
