Coventry City 13th | Sheffield United 16th (22)

The sapping heat, a Glazier ‘howler’ and the Blades intention on a draw all take the edge off City’s first home Division 1 game. John Key’s header from a Rees corner is the best goal of the game. Dietmar Bruck saves a point with a low deceptive shot following Machin’s free-kick.
