Coventry City 12th | Southampton 5th (22)

McMenemy’s Saints have only lost one in twelve and await the arrival of Kevin Keegan in the summer. City’s record against them, having not lost at home since 1949, is extended. Thompson scores two and gives England’s Dave Watson a hard time. Belgian Van Gool looks set to sign.
