Aston Villa 3rd | Coventry City 15th (22)

Hateley and others have played the summer in the USA and he returns for a good performance which deserves a point. Gillespie limps off after six minutes and sub Thomas plays a blinder at right-back. Shaw’s header wins it in a rain-affected game, and Hunt stars against his old club.
