A PL giant to fall? Newly-promoted clubs changing relegation equation

Hull, Coventry and Ipswich have already collected 24 points between them after six games, so the conversation is starting to shift from pre-season vibes on whether all three newly-promoted clubs will be relegated to which established Premier League names could be in the scrap for survival.

Hull City, Ipswich Town and Coventry City are all clear of the Premier League relegation zone after six games; does this put a supposedly safe mid-table club or a big-name team in genuine danger of relegation to the Championship this season?

The Premier League's newly-promoted sides have often struggled to bridge the gap, with two consecutive seasons in 2023/24 and 2024/25 seeing all three newcomers relegated before Leeds and Sunderland helped buck that trend last season.

The lesson teams are learning is that survival is possible when a promoted team gets their recruitment, organisation and mentality right.

Hull and Ipswich already have nine points, while Coventry, following their 4-1 hammering of Newcastle, are on six.
