Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock has demanded that his side keep clean sheets in their last two Premiership games of the season, as the Blades continue their battle to avoid relegation.

Recent wins against Watford and West Ham have helped to lift Warnock's side three points above the relegation trap-door, but the United boss is remaining cautious.

"We have to try and take care of every eventuality," Warnock told the Sheffield Star.

"We have to try and look at every possible scenario and try to put ourselves in a position where we are always at an advantage.

"We will look to try and win our remaining two games, as we always do, but we've also got to remember how tight things are at the moment and not to just give anything away.

"If we don't concede then that should serve us well, because we are capable of creating chances."

United visit Aston Villa this weekend before finishing their first season in the Premiership since 1994 with a game against Wigan Athletic at Bramall Lane.
