Crystal Palace 3rd | Coventry City 11th (22)

Newly promoted Palace miss the chance to go top, but manager Venables is upset by City’s defensive approach. A highly professional display, with Sealey in defiant mood, earns a point. Three clean sheets in a row for City, a Div 1 club record. Thompson and Oakey are still out injured.
