Leicester's clash with Hull a 'must-win' says Pearson

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has labelled this weekend's clash with Hull City as a 'must-win' affair.

?The bottom-placed Foxes host the 15th-placed Tigers at King Power Stadium on Saturday and Pearson is eager to produce a victory in order to keep some hope of survival alive.

?"Yes, probably," he told reporters when asked if it's a game his side needs to win.

?"It's a game that certainly both sides will be trying to win, but Hull may be happier with a draw than us, we certainly need to win the game. So, that answers your question, I suppose.

?"I remain very focused on doing the job that needs to be done this season and that is to negotiate our way through the last 11 games to get enough points to stay up.

"We still have a strong belief in our ability to stay up this season."?
