Championship leaders Coventry stumbled again as they were held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man Oxford United at the CBS Arena. Frank Lampard’s side have now won just four of their last 13 league matches and, having been 10 points clear in December, will drop to second on Monday if second-placed Middlesbrough beat Sheffield United.

The relegation-threatened U’s had Will Lankshear sent off in the 77th minute but held on for a valuable draw that leaves them four points from safety.
