Potter's ceiling had been reached but would have rather they waited until International break.
Problem is know Santo needs to win against Everton not a draw but a win.

EPL Leaderboard after Match Week 6


But it's full of surprises so far:

Palace & Sunderland shock the top 5
City & Chelsea underwhelming
United, NUFC, AVFC & NFFC slumping
Wolves & West Ham in deep trouble, maybe or matbe not ....
(Wolves are still last but they drew with Spurs)
4 opponents Arsenal has faced are on the second phase of the table
4 opponents Liverpool has faced are on top 10 of the table
After this morning's result, is West Ham on the rise?
Could Crystal Palace do a Leicester?
Sunderland, Palace, Bournemouth, Everton, Brighton, Fulham, Leeds, Brentford are all above Man united
Plenty of teams needing to pull their socks up before Christmas
The biggest eye catcher is how tight the top four race is every point feels massive already
