Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits their confidence has been knocked since the season restart.

The Blades are now out of the FA Cup after defeat at home to Arsenal yesterday and they meet Tottenham on Thursday.

"A few of the lads, with recent displays, they're probably lacking that little bit of belief," Wilder acknowledged.

“So what they do is take a few extra touches on the ball when they don't need to.

“But I firmly believe, yes, that what they'd just shown out there should help that belief come back. It was certainly a display which should do that."
