Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri says Saturday's meeting with Huddersfield Town is a must-win match.

Ranieri's Cottagers are second bottom, one point ahead of the Terriers.

"It is a crucial game, we need to win, we need to make three points," says the Fulham boss.

"We are playing well but without achieving the three points. We need to be positive and make sure we can achieve something good."

And the Italian added that his side must not rely on other teams beating their relegation rivals.

"We have to think of ourselves," he says.

"It is a very crucial match but I'm positive because the players follow me.

"And the fans have been behind us and I hope to give them a present on Saturday."
