Spurs have conceded only three goals in the Premier League this season, and a grand total of none from open play. We have seen many perfect defensive displays this season, and Toby Alderweireld has been our most consistent player this season, making many last-ditch tackles, if it wasn’t for the Belgian, we may have conceded many more than three Premier League goals.

Not only has Alderweireld done the dirty defensive work, he has provided a huge threat in an attacking sense from corners. The 27-year-old has caused havoc in the opposition box this season from corners, scoring one in the Champions League and coming close in the Premier League on many other occasions.

If we are to make another push for the title this season, we will need to have an extremely solid defence, and the record speaks for itself this season, and we need this defensive form to continue, and I have full confidence that it will after shutting out league leaders Manchester City at the weekend.
