Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock is convinced his side can defy the critics and retain their place in the Premiership.

The Blades have slipped into the bottom three after taking only one point and scoring two goals in their last five matches.

United's fall from grace has coincided with a revival in the fortunes of Charlton Athletic and West Ham United, and Warnock's side face the Hammers at Bramall Lane on Saturday before travelling to The Valley later this month.

"Everyone seems to think that West Ham and Charlton are just going to take the points off us, so I want my lads to go out there and prove them wrong," Warnock told the Sheffield Star.

"That's not the case at all, it's going to be tough, but if anyone thinks we're a pushover then they're wrong.

"We made a few mistakes (against Newcastle) and I don't want that to happen again.

"But our destiny is still in our own hands."
