Sunderland 18th | Coventry City 7th (22)
A freezing day on Wearside gives City a reminder of the thin dividing line between success and failure. In the second half they have the icy wind behind them and Whitton equalises with a stunning volley, but City make mistakes and pay dearly. Sunderland are unbeaten in eight.
