Coventry City 6th | Southampton 18th (20)

The Saints are in dire straits, without a win in 20 games and heading for the drop. They dominate this game against lethargic City but fail to capitalise on Danny Wallace’s goal from Peake’s short back-pass. David Speedie superbly chips Tim Flowers to win it against the run of play.
