    "New Sunderland boss Chris Coleman does not look happy with that Villa goal, he had a word with the assistant referee after Albert Adomah found the net.

    "The Welshman is already looking a little frustrated on the touchline."

    Victory against Fulham tonight will see Sheffield United return to the top of the Championship.

    Chris Wilder's side won League One with 100 points last season but few tipped them to carry their success through to the second tier in such spectacular fashiom.

    With that in mind, we're asking you for your memories of teams who upset the odds to claim success.

    Are you a Shrewsbury fan, watching on in delight as your team sit pretty at the top of League One? Or maybe, you drew Greece in the work sweepstake before Euro 2004?

    Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has quite a few reasons to hope his side pick up three points to mark the club's special day.

    The 56-year-old spent two and a half years in charge of the Black Cats before being sacked in November 2011.

    After a slow start saw them pick up just one point from their first three games the Villans could finish tonight four points outside the automatic promotion places if results go their way.
