13 games in, 6 draws, which is more than any other side bar Arsenal who also have 6, and Wolves with 7 who are a point and a place above us with an almost identical record.
I think this season we're really seeing the value of draws, so far they've been equal to getting another 2 wins.
Some could've been more, such as today and vs Spurs, and some could've been less, such as the Watford and Bournemouth games.
Compared to a championship promotion season when you need ~90 points, a point in the Prem is worth effectively double since your realistic target for survival/midtable is half of that.
Of course it helps when they also happen to be as entertaining as today's was!
