Coventry City 8th in Division One | Liverpool 2nd in Division One

The largest crowd for nearly six years see the Liverpool ‘killjoys’ pay City a major compliment by playing a sweeper to counter Regis. Painter comes in for the cup-tied Emerson but fades after a lively start. Grobbelaar tips City’s best effort, Phillips’ 25-yard free-kick, over the bar.
