Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is confident his squad has the quality to stay up.

Wilder, though, admits they need to get sharper in front of goal.

“I can't say two goals out of the first five games is a decent return, can I?" said Wilder.

“The hardest part is sticking the ball in the back of the net and keeping it out of the back of the net, too. Some teams pay £400m to keep the ball out the back of the net (a reference to the amount Manchester City have lavished on defenders under Pep Guardiola) or £300m to put it in at the other end.

“This is an incredibly competitive league. We've done incredibly well to get into this league way ahead of time.

“We haven't won any of the first five games and it doesn't sit well with us but we shouldn't be embarrassed."
