Millwall's players should feel no fear going into their last two games of the Championship season, says head coach Alex Neil.

The Lions host Swansea City on Saturday before travelling to already-promoted Burnley on the final day of the season.

With four wins in their past five matches, Millwall sit three points off the play-off spots and Neil said his focus was on the things he and his players could control.

"There's nothing we can do about the other fixtures; if we don't win our game the chances become more remote, so from our perspective it's purely 'can we win the match?', he told BBC Radio London.

"Other teams have got it in their hands. Our job is to make sure that if there is any slip-ups, if there are any opportunities, that we try and seize upon it.

"There should be no apprehension, no fear, we can only gain from this point onwards."

Millwall can move level with sixth-placed Coventry City if the Sky Blues lose at Luton Town and the Lions beat the Swans, but Coventry currently have a superior goal difference.
