Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits they're facing a relegation dogfight.
The Blades have only one point from their opening 10 games, which has never been good enough for Premier League survival. They face Leicester, Southampton and Manchester United in their next three matches and will start as heavy underdogs against all three.
Wilder said: "We've got to give ourselves a fighting chance. The longer the run goes on the more difficult it becomes and we might get detached if we don't pick up results. Our aim is to keep in contact with teams around us.
"It becomes a dogfight, we understand that. All we've got eyes for is 17th position — you have to understand my realism about that with the start we have had, and we have to be realistic as a club in our second season back in the Premier League.
"I get that people will come out with stats. No wins in the first 10 games usually means teams will go down but another team might have a run like we've had — it has happened before. We have to get three teams below us."
