  "account": "Hull City have made a remarkable start to their Premier League season, accumulating seven points from just three games. Head coach Sergej Jakirovic credits the new signings and the strong defensive performances for their success. With only two points behind leaders Manchester City, Hull supporters are optimistic about their chances of avoiding relegation. The Tigers have also maintained three clean sheets in their opening three matches, a feat not achieved by any newly promoted side since 1998-99. While the odds are still against them, Hull's defensive solidity and strong squad depth give them a fighting chance of securing their top-flight status for the 2025-26 season.",
  "summary": "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.",
