Coventry City 11th | Liverpool 1st (22)

City forsake their adventurous approach and tighten up midfield and defence to thwart the runaway leaders. Yorath returns to give midfield bite and Jim Holton and Jim Hagan keep tabs on Dalglish and Johnson. The poor home run is ended and, in a game of few chances, a draw is fair.
