Keeps another clean sheet
Raya recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton.
Analysis: Raya delivered another reliable performance between the posts, making three saves as Arsenal secured their seventh league victory of the season. The Spanish goalkeeper was alert to Everton's limited attacking opportunities and benefited from a strong defensive display in front of him. He has now recorded 18 saves, five goals conceded and five clean sheets across eight Premier League appearances this season, underlining his consistency in one of the league's strongest defensive units. Raya will look to maintain that form when Arsenal travel to Liverpool for their next Premier League fixture.
Allows two goals
David Raya registered three saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Bayern Munich.
Analysis: Raya conceded twice but did make three saves and Arsenal were able to find a late equalizer to get a point from the encounter. The goalkeeper has been good in EPL play this season and will try to blank an Everton team that has scored eight goals across seven EPL games.
Secures clean sheet
Raya registered two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Raya made two saves while keeping a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest, helping Arsenal secure their sixth Premier League win of the season. He was called into action during the first half when Dan Ndoye's low effort forced him into a save at the near post, before comfortably handling Murillo's second-half header following a Forest corner. Raya benefited from several important defensive interventions during the closing stages, particularly from Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa, as Arsenal protected their narrow advantage and secured another clean sheet.
Keeps a clean sheet
David Raya recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 3-0 win versus Lille.
Analysis: Raya faced no pressure and therefore did not have to make any saves, keeping a clean sheet on Tuesday. The goalkeeper has a good chance to blank Nottingham Forest next, as the side only has five goals in six EPL matches to start the season.
Makes key saves in victory
Raya conceded once in Saturday's 2-1 win over Leeds United.
Analysis: Raya delivered an important performance despite missing out on a clean sheet against Leeds United. The Spaniard conceded to James Justin in the 55th minute, as Arsenal subsequently overturned the game by the end of 90. Raya made four saves and faced 1.35 xGOT while preventing 0.35. His important stops came against Gabriel Gudmundsson and Ao Tanaka when Daniel Farke's men threatened to take control. Raya also played the full 90 and remains the established first choice for the Gunners.
Beaten three times in heavy defeat
Raya had two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Brighton.
Analysis: Raya made two saves in Saturday's 3-0 Premier League defeat at Brighton, including a fingertip stop to divert Charalampos Kostoulas's early volley wide and two reflexes saves from Matt O'Riley in the closing stages, but was beaten by Pascal Gross' 31st minute curler off the near post, Kostoulas' halftime strike and Chema's 57th minute header from Gross' corner. Arsenal fall to their first Premier League defeat of the season and drop to second in the table ahead of the international break.
Keeps clean sheet in win
Raya recorded two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Sunderland.
Analysis: Raya made two saves to secure another shutout, with his most important intervention coming when he denied Enzo Le Fee from the penalty spot while the match was still scoreless. The save prevented Sunderland from taking the lead before Arsenal broke through shortly afterward and eventually secured the victory. Raya has now kept three clean sheets in four Premier League appearances this season and will next face Brighton in league play.
Keeps clean sheet Wednesday
Raya registered three saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 1-0 victory versus Napoli.
Analysis: Raya opened up his Champions League campaign well Wednesday, helping shut out the Napoli attack with three saves. He's now conceded just one goal through four appearances this season across the Premier League and Champions League. Next up in the UCL is a home match versus Lille on Oct. 13.
Makes four saves in win
Raya had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Raya had kept clean sheets in each of his first two Premier League appearances before Morgan Rogers' opener ended that run, and his four saves against Chelsea's fluid attack underline his continued importance as the last line of defense in manager Mikel Arteta's system. He heads into the Napoli Champions League fixture having conceded just once across three Premier League appearances, a record that reflects both his individual quality and the defensive structure built around him.
Keeps clean sheet Monday
Raya registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Monday's 1-0 win against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Raya had a very simple outing Monday as his defense did not allow a single shot on target from Aston Villa. Raya has now kept two clean sheets through two matches and has only needed to make one save. He'll likely be tested much more Sunday versus Chelsea, a side which has scored seven goals through two matches this season.
Single save in win
David Raya had one save and allowed zero goals in Friday's 3-0 win against Coventry City.
Analysis: Raya and the champions Arsenal got off to a brilliant start against a newly-promoted side. They thoroughly outplayed them right from the off and didn't allow a goal. Raya faced just one shot and with the brilliant defense in front of him, he has the potential for a steady run of clean sheets.
Resumes preseason training
Raya returned to training Saturday for the continuation of Arsenal's preseason, having not played a single minute for Spain at the World Cup, according to coach Mikel Arteta, per James Benge.
Analysis: Raya enters the new season as Arsenal's undisputed No. 1 after another outstanding campaign in which he recorded 19 clean sheets across 37 Premier League appearances and claimed a third consecutive Golden Glove as the club won the title. His consistency behind one of the league's strongest defenses gives Arsenal a reliable presence in goal, while his secure starting role leaves little concern over rotation. Raya's return is an important step in Arsenal's preseason preparations, and he is expected to continue building toward full match sharpness as the new campaign approaches.
Three saves against PSG
Raya recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Raya was the only goalkeeper to make a meaningful save across both the 120 minutes and the penalty shootout in Saturday's heartbreaking 1-1 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest. His most significant intervention came in extra time when Bradley Barcola raced through on goal with his first touch after coming off the bench, only for Raya to read the danger perfectly and smother the ball at the winger's feet before he could finish. The Spanish goalkeeper also denied Nuno Mendes in the penalty shootout, but could not prevent Gabriel's crucial miss from ultimately condemning Arsenal to defeat and extending the club's wait for a first European crown. Raya ends the 2025-26 season with 28 clean sheets, 96 saves and 31 goals conceded across 51 appearances in all competitions, further cementing his reputation as one of the world's top goalkeepers. His consistency, composure and shot-stopping ability were central to Arsenal's success throughout the campaign, and he is set to travel to the 2026 World Cup with Spain as the backup to Unai Simon.
Keeps clean sheet
David Raya had no saves and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 1-0 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Raya didn't face any trouble at all as Arsenal clamped down defensively after grabbing the lead in the first half. The goalkeeper will need to be on point as Arsenal try to secure the league title against Crystal Palace, a side which has scored just 40 times in 37 matches. Arsenal could win the league Tuesday if Man City lose or draw to Bournemouth.
Secures clean sheet
Raya recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Raya produced the save of the match in Sunday's 1-0 win at West Ham, staying big with his legs to deny Mateus Fernandes when the Portuguese midfielder broke clean through on goal in the second half in what was the most dangerous moment of the match for his side, a moment that proved decisive as Leandro Trossard scored at the other end just five minutes later. The Spanish goalkeeper also dealt confidently with Taty Castellanos's diving header in the first half, springing to his right to keep his side level as West Ham were growing into the match, before surviving a dramatic VAR check in stoppage time when Callum Wilson's goal was ruled out for a foul on Raya during the preceding corner. Raya has kept 18 clean sheets across 36 Premier League appearances this season, the most of any goalkeeper in the division and a cornerstone of his side's title push. He will look to maintain his momentum in the next match against Burnley.
Two saves for final spot
David Raya made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Raya stopped both shots he faced during Tuesday's win, earning the win, clean sheet, and spot in the Champions League final. It was another excellent defensive showing from Arsenal, who play conservatively, giving Raya clean sheet upside every time he steps on the pitch. The only downside is that he generally faces so few shots that even a single goal allowed ruins his day.
One save in another clean sheet win
David Raya recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Fulham.
Analysis: Raya kept his 17th clean sheet of the Premier League season as Arsenal put their lead out to six points in the lead with City having games in hand. He was only required to make one save, but he has kept clean sheets in his last two Premier League games and six clean sheets in his last nine games.
Three saves in draw
Raya registered three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Raya came up with a huge save in the first half, denying Julian Alvarez on a long-range free kick to keep things level before Viktor Gyokeres buried Arsenal's penalty in the 43rd minute. He was tested again after the break with Antoine Griezmann and Ademola Lookman both pushing forward, and he answered the call, finishing with three saves as Arsenal grinded out a 1-1 draw to keep the semifinal tie wide open heading into the return leg at the Emirates. Raya will aim to carry that momentum into Saturday's matchup against Fulham with the decisive second leg looming on Tuesday.
Keeps clean sheet
David Raya had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Newcastle United.
Analysis: After a few rough efforts across EPL and UCL contests, Raya got back to his usual self with a clean sheet against Newcastle. He'll be tasked with holding down the fort against Atletico Madrid in UCL play beginning Wednesday, though the LaLiga side is known more for its defense than scoring prowess.
Allows two against City
Raya registered two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Analysis: Raya was beaten twice Sunday, but neither due to his own mistakes, still making two saves in the rough loss. This comes as a second straight game without a clean sheet in league play, not at his best when the club most needs it. He will now prepare for a massive match against Newcastle, needing a win to keep their chances of a title alive.
