Hull City have made an eye-catching start to their return to the Premier League, taking seven points from their opening three fixtures under head coach Sergej Jakirovic and conceding no goals in any of them. The form matters because history is strongly in Hull's favour: no promoted side has ever been relegated after collecting seven…
Aston Villa were held to a goalless draw at newly promoted Hull City, extending their winless start to the Premier League season and leaving them without a goal in three consecutive matches. Hull matched their top-flight opponents and looked the more threatening side over the course of the game, a result that reinforced manager Sergej…
