Manchester City 10th | Coventry City 14th (22)

An uninspiring fixture, won with a dubious penalty for the second year running. The ref alleged Lloyd pushed Joe Royle, and Dennis Tueart scored. Both sides miss chances but City lose Ferguson after 29 minutes and struggle. Coventry deserve a draw. Rodney Marsh is suspended.
