Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra says their defence is proud of this season's record.
United's rearguard is one of the major reasons why they remain unbeaten heading into Sunday's showdown with fellow title challengers Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
And, according to Evra, the secret is the art of communication.
"We talk a lot," Evra told MUTV. "I like that.
"Nemanja Vidic will always tell me whether I am doing the right things or not. It is what I want him to do. He must keep me alive.
"There are times when I have to help him as well, if the striker is on his back for instance.
"But Vida is always explaining, before games and training. He tells me how my opponents play. It is so important."
