Coventry City 21st | Aston Villa 9th (22)
This defeat makes it the worst City start for 70 years and they are bottom for the first time in 20 years. A poor game is decided by an early error by Rennie who can do little right. Babb will sign for Liverpool and City are linked to Joachim Bjorklund, Liam Daish and Dean Richards.
