Chelsea and Manchester United are neck and neck for the Premier League crown going into the final day of the season - and it is the first time the title has still been up for grabs at this stage of the season since 1999.
Then it was Arsenal, the reigning champions, who were breathing down the necks of Sir Alex Ferguson's side, just a point behind.
At Old Trafford United faced Tottenham, who would end the season 11th, while Arsenal hosted Aston Villa, who would finish sixth. And Ferguson's side knew three points against Spurs would be enough to regain the title.

But it doesn't always go United's way on the final day - and the last time two teams went into the last match tied they were up against their City rivals in 1968.
Matt Busby's side had been five points clear at one point but Joe Mercer's team had the edge on goal difference ahead of the final day clashes.
At Old Trafford United lost 1-2 to Sunderland, while at Newcastle City triumphed in a 4-3 thriller to lan the Division One title, the goal heroes Mike Summerbee, Francis Lee and Neil Young with a double.
