Sheffield United have not given up hope of a top-two place despite Monday night's 1-0 loss to Burnley.

The third-placed Blades are four points behind Birmingham and both teams have two games left to play.

United's assistant manager Sam Ellis said: "If we win on Saturday then the pressure is on Birmingham to win their game."

"Burnley were better than us. It's not a bad reason is it? It happens in football matches.

"We knew they'd be a good side from the cup runs they had and the league position they're in, and there's no shame in coming here and being second best. I'm just disappointed that we were."

The Blades play Swansea at home on Saturday and take on Crystal Palace on the last day, while Birmingham's remaining fixtures are against Preston at home and at Reading.
