Coventry City 19th | Chelsea 9th (22)

In order to avoid crowd trouble it is an all-ticket match with an 11.30 kick-off. City haven’t played for three weeks and look rusty, but they catch Chelsea cold when Regis sets up Gibson. It is Mickey Droy’s final game for the Pensioners. Playing Stephens in midfield does not work.
