Sunderland 18th | Coventry City 14th (20)

John Sillett's final game as manager.

Missed opportunities mean City are hovering just above the relegation area. Their tight defence is rarely troubled by promoted Sunderland and Regis misses the best chance. Owers and Speedie continue their feud from last season. Sillett is sacked four days later and Butcher installed.
