Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that this weekend's Premier League meeting with fellow strugglers Leicester City is a 'must-win game'.
The Hoops head into the clash at Loftus Road rooted to the foot of the table, sitting three points from safety having won just twice all season.
Leicester have also struggled in recent weeks, picking up just two points from their last seven matches since a memorable 5-3 victory over Manchester United.
"It's a game we need to win," Redknapp told reporters in his pre-match press conference. "This is a very important period for us against sides around us that could decide our fate.
"It's still very tight at the bottom. We're okay, we are playing well we just need a result now. It's very close at the bottom still."
Redknapp also confirmed that Adel Taarabt is still "way off fitness" ahead of the relegation six-pointer.
