Coventry City 19th | Blackburn Rovers 20th (20)
This is the first relegation battle of the season. Neither side look good enough. Ray Harford is under pressure with Rovers winless in eight, and his team rarely threaten. Kevin Gallacher makes his first visit since leaving City four years ago. City are booed off to fans’ chants of ‘rubbish’.
Highlights of all City's Premier League games from 1992-2001 are available to watch here (registration required).
Steve Ogrizovic wore a Blackburn keepers top with the sponsor covered for this game, presumably because the referee decided there was a clash.
