Hull City has made a stunning return to the Premier League, securing seven points from their first three matches and establishing a solid foundation for the season ahead. Head coach Sergej Jakirovic humorously noted the early success but quickly acknowledged the need for caution, stating, "No, of course it is early."

The team’s impressive start includes:

• Three clean sheets
• Only two points behind leaders Manchester City
• A remarkable win against Manchester United on opening day

Defender John Egan emphasized the importance of this start for team confidence, highlighting the boost from their initial victory. Historically, no newly promoted side has been relegated after earning seven or more points in their opening three fixtures, providing Hull supporters with reasons to dream of a secure top-flight status.

Their recent 0-0 draw against Aston Villa showcased their defensive strength, reaffirming that Hull has the potential to compete at this level. Just last season, the Tigers narrowly escaped relegation to League One, but a significant turnaround followed the arrival of Jakirovic, who led them to promotion despite challenges like a transfer embargo.

This summer, Hull made headlines as the busiest Premier League side, completing 18 signings for around £150m, including £22m midfielder Tim Iroegbunam. Jakirovic, who recently extended his contract, noted the importance of integrating new players, especially those who missed pre-season training.

Looking ahead, the upcoming match against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup presents an opportunity to provide valuable playing time and continue building on their early success.
