Coventry City 4th | Crystal Palace 13th (24)
Youssef Safri sent off for two bookings, 64 minutes.
Hughes looks set to rejoin WBA but nets after being brought down by Powell. City look comfortable until Safri’s 64th-minute dismissal for two yellows. Then Palace turn the screw but the Sky Blues stand firm, but it’s not pretty. Veteran Steve Walsh is City’s third oldest debutant.
