Coventry City 8th | Arsenal 5th (22)

Jim Holton pulls out before the kick-off and City’s makeshift defence can’t stop Stapleton’s two headers. Inspired by Brady, Arsenal seal their fifth away win on the trot, catching the Sky Blues on an off day. Coop scores after Nelson trips Graydon. Blyth is set for a Scotland call-up.
