Crystal Palace 19th | Coventry City 4th (20)

The rain pours down and newly promoted Palace can find no way through City’s experienced defence. The Wright-Bright combo which scored 58 goals last term doesn’t get a single chance and Brian Kilcline’s direct free-kick, which skids past ex-City keeper Perry Suckling, is enough.
