Arsenal 5th | Coventry City 7th (22)

Arsenal have just reached Wembley. City play with three wingers up front because of Thompson’s broken leg. Ian Wallace and Liam Brady are both out injured. An away win looks likely until Sammy Nelson’s blockbuster. Nelson will faces charges after naughtily dropping his shorts.
