Coventry City 19th | Everton 13th (22)

Another cruel deflection, by Borrows on Beagrie’s shot, has the vultures hovering over Highfield Road. Everton  rarely escape their own half but City fail to turn their efforts into goals. Gallacher returns from injury and deserves a 53rd-minute penalty when he is upended by Southall.
