Coventry City 18th in Division One | Arsenal 6th in Division One

Even with the returning Gibson and Machin, City lack the subtlety to break down a compact Arsenal. City work hard but it is uphill after Jon Sammels’ superb volley. Strong City penalty claims are turned down before Machin squeezes in a consolation, following good work by Gibson.
