This week’s football phrase is ‘clean sheet‘, which is used when a team doesn’t concede, or let in, a goal. So, for example, last Sunday, Atletico Madrid beat Bilbao 4-0. Bilbao didn’t score so Atletico kept a clean sheet, notice we use the verb to keep with the phrase – they kept a clean sheet. In the Premier League, Chelsea have a new manager in Rafa Benitez and his side have kept a clean sheet in back to back games for the first time since the middle of September – 0-0 against Manchester City and 0-0 against Fulham. This week both Atletico and Chelsea feature in our predictions – can they keep a clean sheet?
