Aston Villa 9th | Coventry City 17th (22)

It’s 13 games without a win, equalling the City’s Div 1 record, and a super-human effort is needed to pull out of this nose-dive. Peake captains in Allardyce’s absence. It is Villa’s lowest crowd since they were promoted in 1975. On-loan striker Langley is dire, so Ferguson joins on loan.
