Coventry, Ipswich, Hull - promoted trio enjoy positive starts
The three teams have collected a respectable 31 points in total after nine games, and all currently sit above the relegation zone.
Coventry City, Ipswich Town, and Hull City are the newly promoted teams in the Premier League that are showing positive early results. After a rough start last season, the Sky Blues have won three of their last five matches, including a 3-1 victory over Sunderland. This win has lifted them to 15th place in the table. Ipswich Town and Hull City have also had encouraging starts, with the trio of teams amassing a combined 31 points after nine games, the 13th highest tally among promoted sides in Premier League history.
Despite Coventry's nine points, they remain slightly behind their promoted peers. The promotion of these three sides has been bolstered by significant investments made during the summer, including high-profile signings. Experts believe that the teams have the potential to continue their strong starts, as all 18 promoted teams that have gathered at least 11 points from their first nine games have avoided relegation since the 2010-11 season.
