Following his retirement from playing at Leeds, Charlton was appointed manager of Middlesbrough in May 1973, his character proving more suited to the job than his quieter and more reserved brother, who had an undistinguished spell in charge of Preston North End.

But there is still plenty to play for - a place in the history books. So what's still up for grabs?What records could they still break? Biggest title-winning margin: 19 points Two years ago Manchester City finished a mammoth 19 points clear of rivals Manchester United, with Liverpool a further six points back in fourth.

I think there is high chances for a draw in this game cause Viktoria koln is team which has no ambitions to chase to top of the table and they just want to stay above relegation zone and right now they have 5 points more than teams in there so I think their main goal for them is not to lose this match tomorrow and on the other side meppen is in bad form and I think they can't win but they should not be unhappy with a draw so on this odd I m surely going to give it a shot
Both sides have struggled slightly in front of goal with LASK averaging 1.5 goals per game, a figure skewed by their big win in matchweek four, and Rosenborg finding the net just once.

Their nearest challengers have either stuttered or taken points off each other, while Bilic's side have won three on the spin to put a previous seven-game winless streak behind them.

This was not his day, but he is still an extremely talented footballer and, if Villa do stay up, he is going to play a big part for them. Dion Dublin was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Manchester City may have been slightly below par at times this season, but they should still have enough about them to get the three points on Saturday. Leicester have lost four of their last five away games against last season's Premier League top six, and with two of Man City's last three home games ending 2-1 we think that's the best option in the correct score market.
CHANCE! Azplicueta gets in behind the Everton defence. He cuts it back to Mount, whose shot is blocked by Holgate.

Brazil's fifth World Cup final win was not simply about Ronaldo's two second-half goals amid Yokohama's space-age architecture - it was a story of redemption. Ronaldo was one of the great players of his generation but the striker's career had been blighted by serious injury and the mystery surrounding his absence from the final at France 98.

Whichever line-up I choose for Sunday, and I don't know in this moment what we need, but if you want to go through, anybody in a Liverpool shirt, you must throw your soul on the pitch because we need you 100%," he added.

Sporting Lisbon played to a draw in their last match and with the pressure to stay in the Europa League slots, they will hope to go for the kill here. They have a good run at home and face a side that has been very shaky and unconvincing away from home. Pacos have also not had a very good defensive record in their recent matches and with their run against Sporting, we don’t expect surprises from the away side. Sporting have scored twice in each of their last three home league matches and we are backing the same for this match. We are going for a 2-0 win for the hosts here.
It was always going to take time for Simeone to make what he had last time with these players. Maybe he is finished and maybe too old school to succeed now.

BOURNEMOUTH WIN! BOURNEMOUTH WIN! BOURNEMOUTH WIN! Never mind them winning, it’s even more remarkable that Bournemouth scored three goals.

The football community is gradually recovering and some of the European championships are returning. The first of the top 5 leagues returned the German Bundesliga. Here, in the framework of the 27th round, “Paderborn” and “Hoffenheim” will argue among themselves for a victory in the intramural match. To the safe zone, Paderborn needs 10 points and a guarantee that higher clubs will lose points from round to round. Competitors in the standings do not fail, but the hosts themselves scored only one point in the game with “Fortune”. At this pace, Baumgart players will not have enough matches in the remaining season to score the required number of points. Especially with rivals like Hoffenheim. We are sure that in this confrontation, the guests will avenge everyone for the defeat in the previous round.

Van Dijk: I have seen them all - Ruud Krol, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini. Virgil van Dijk. The centre-back is in that class and has thrilled us with his performances for Liverpool for two seasons now. They seem to be getting even better. In fact commentators can't wait for Van Dijk to make the occasional mistake so they have a talking point.

Following his exploits on Merseyside, he says "everybody in Senegal is a Liverpool fan" and the public are "proud" of his achievements.
