Coventry, Ipswich, Hull - promoted trio enjoy positive starts

When Ipswich Town secured their return to the Premier League in May, few expected much from the Tractor Boys.

Their promotion to the top flight in 2024, ending a 22-year absence, exposed just how ill-equipped they were to compete at that level.

By the end of the 2024-25 season, Ipswich finished 19th, recording just four wins from 38 Premier League games.

But having secured an immediate return to the top flight, and after significant investment in the squad over the summer, the Tractor Boys look set to put up more of a fight this time around.

The Championship runners-up's summer business was headlined by the return of Julio Enciso, who spent part of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Portman Road.
