Nottingham Forest recently got Sean Dyche on board and, whilst they battled to a draw with Manchester United, they remain in the bottom three.It ended a run of three successive wins for Ruben Amorim, who has perhaps enjoyed the most pressure free week of his tenure with United climbing the table in recent weeks.READ MORE: Man Utd's six-man managerial shortlist before they hired Ruben Amorim revealedREAD MORE: Micah Richards at loggerheads with Paul Scholes as he names 'one of the best in the world’It was a weekend to forget for Thomas Frank after seeing Tottenham lose to Chelsea.
Despite some early criticism they have looked imperious and are being increasingly backed to win the title.Pep Guardiola will have been pleased to see his side rise to second, bouncing back from last weekend's loss at Villa.
