There is good news for Ipswich Town and Hull City in that every promoted side since 2015-16 to take 11 points or more from their first 10 games - and there has been 14 of them - have survived.

The most recent promoted team to make as bright a start and go down were Cardiff City in 2013-14, who were 12th with 12 points but finished bottom on 30 points.

The outlook is a little bleaker for Coventry City.

Only two promoted sides in the past 11 seasons have taken fewer than 11 points and survived - Bournemouth in 2015-16 (eight) and Nottingham Forest in 2022-23 (five).

Frank Lampard's men are also the seventh promoted side to take exactly nine points from their first 10 games - two of the previous six survived (Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2009-10 and Leicester City in 2014-15).
