Coventry City 6th | Everton 2nd (22)

City smash Everton’s 20-match unbeaten run on a pitch, a third of which is snow-covered. Everton boss Gordon Lee believes the pitch wasn’t playable. The Sky Blues adapt more easily and look home and dry until a late rally ensures a cliff-hanging finale. Ian Wallace’s goal is a gem.
