Coventry City 6th | Manchester United 13th (22)

City see the year out by demolishing United, who had won 6-2 at Everton on Boxing Day. All three goals are headers, the best coming from Yorath, who galloped the length of the pitch to connect with Wallace’s cross. Despite a makeshift defence, the Sky Blues are rarely troubled.
