Alisson backed by Reina to make Liverpool history after matching clean sheet record

Alisson is being backed by former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina to make history at Anfield, with a 21st clean sheet in a single campaign now within the Brazilian’s reach.

Nobody in the Premier League era has secured that many shut outs for the Reds.

Reina managed 20 on two separate occasions during his time on Merseyside, in the 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons.

That achievement has now been matched by the club’s current No. 1, with Alisson leading the charge for the 2018-19 Golden Glove.

He still has two outings to take in, against Newcastle and Wolves, and the £65 million ($85m) man is expected to set a new benchmark for keepers at Liverpool.
