Tottenham Hotspur have been watertight at the back so far this season.
Spurs have the best defensive record in Europe according to stats gathering information company Opta, eclipsing some of the most elite clubs on the continent with their average of just 0.55 goals conceded per game.
Although Maruico Pochettino’s men have received criticism for their impotence in front of goal this season, their strength at the other end of the park has enabled them to go 11 games games unbeaten in the Premier League thus far, and they remain the only side left in the English top flight not to have lost a game.
