Big Sam - We must get a point
Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce believes their clash at Fulham on Wednesday is a game they cannot afford to lose.
Rovers' goalless draw with Everton coupled with Stoke's priceless win over Bolton last week meant they slipped back into the bottom three.
Blackburn have a game in hand on the likes of Stoke and Portsmouth and the former Bolton tactician knows the importance of their trip to Craven Cottage.
Allardyce would love to emerge victorious from their trip to West London, but hopes at the very least they will avoid defeat to Roy Hodgson's side.
Game in hand
When questioned if the Fulham clash was a must-win game, Allardyce replied: "No, but I think it's nearly there.
"Our game against Fulham is our game in hand. If we can't win it and we come away with a point it does take us out of the bottom three.
"The win would obviously be great because it stretches the points difference there is farther and we maximise that game in hand.
"If we can't win it we have to make sure we don't lose it."
