Some predictions went as far as suggesting that Hull could threaten Derby County’s record for the lowest points total in Premier League history. While such forecasts were arguably premature, they reflected the level of surprise surrounding Hull’s promotion. Hull’s Championship campaign was not particularly dominant, and their…

Across the first nine fixtures, not a single home team has managed to win.

If Leeds fail to take all three points, Matchday 4 will become only the fourth full round of Premier League fixtures in history to finish without a home victory.…
