Coventry City 6th | Crystal Palace 4th (22)

Palace defend their early lead like dervishes and frustrate Hill’s men. Wood, a centre-half, wears No 9 shirt and is an extra defender. City lack a cutting edge but John Jackson has a blinder in goal. Bob Wesson has little to do all afternoon but Hudson and Rees are only seen in flashes.
