Coventry City 1st | Walsall 15th (24)

On a rock-hard icy pitch City show their pedigree and deservedly go six points clear at the top. Caretaker-boss Alf Wood comes with a blanket defence but the skills of Hudson and Hale unlock the door and the score flatters the Saddlers. Ex-City man Newton muffs their best chance.
