Seven points from three games - are Hull on track to avoid relegation?
It might be too early to settle survival talk, but newly promoted Hull City have given themselves the perfect platform to build on in the Premier League.
Hull City's remarkable start to their Premier League season has sparked speculation about whether they can avoid relegation. In just three games, the Tigers have amassed seven points, trailing Manchester City by only two points while maintaining a perfect defensive record with three clean sheets. With a transfer embargo lifted before last season, head coach Sergej Jakirovic guided Hull to a play-off win over Millwall, followed by a summer of significant investment.
The team, featuring six new signings including £22m midfielder Tim Iroegbunam, have demonstrated strong defensive organization and the ability to thrive without possession. While no newly promoted side has yet avoided relegation after seven points or more in their first three games, Hull's performance suggests they are on track for a historic achievement.
