Coventry City 11th in Division One | Nottingham Forest 4th in Division One
Unlucky City lose the televised first leg when the referee says Regis handles, though the ball hit his leg. 7,000 fans brave the rain and see Steve Livingstone nip in to score. Pearce wins it with a brilliant free-kick as the ref misses Hodge push Gynn out of the wall. Speedie is suspended.
