Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes has hailed the performances of the defence after their sixth consecutive clean sheet at White Hart Lane.
Gomes told the club's official website: "I can only think of one word to describe my defence - unbelievable. They are fantastic in every game,"
"Woody [Woodgate] and Ledley [King] have been a great partnership, and ‘Daws' [Dawson] has done well when he's come in.
"Then you have the full-backs, ‘Charlie' [Corluka] and Benoit [Assou-Ekotto], who have also done very well this season. This is the reason we have kept so many clean sheets.
"It's so important when you have a defence that plays as a unit and understands the game so well.
"Before I came here, I wasn't looking at breaking records, I just wanted to help my team win. But now we have a chance of breaking this record, it's amazing."
