Aston Villa 4th | Coventry City 12th (22)
City are on top for 20 minutes but can’t manage the goal they deserve. Once behind, they capitulate and this stands as their biggest ever defeat against Villa. Rumours are rife that the Thompson transfer has created unrest amongst the players. Judging by this, those stories must be true.
