Coventry City 2nd | Chelsea 14th (20)
France’s World Cup-winning defenders are ripped apart by City’s speed and height in a fascinating duel in the sun. Dublin nods on for Huckerby to chip in the first, and Dion’s header from Whelan’s free-kick makes it four defeats in a row at Coventry for Gianluca Vialli’s boys.
