Defender Matt Kilgallon believes Sheffield United must keep the pressure on Crystal Palace by winning their remaining two games.

A run of one defeat in 10 games has seen the Blades climb to eighth in the Championship, five points behind the sixth-placed Eagles.

And Kilgallon has told BBC Radio Sheffield that he believes there is still plenty to play for.

"If we win on Saturday and Palace lose it's going to be interesting," he said.

Kilgallon wants United to end the season on a winning note regardless of which division they end up in next season to help build momentum for next campaign.

"It's always good to keep winning and start next season on good form," he said.

Kilgallon puts the Blades' recent good run down to good organisation instilled in the players since the arrival of Kevin Blackwell as manager.

"Every player knows what they're doing and what job they've got and we're scoring for fun now," he added.
