Schalke goalkeeperManuel Neuer believes it is a case of win at all costs on Friday night as his side face fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund at Arena AufSchalke.

The 135th Revier derby clash is the highlight of this weekend's Bundesliga fixtures and Neuer wants to grab a win to aid their title challenge.

But their neighbours need the points to revive their own European hopes and it all makes for a highly-anticipated showdown.

Speaking to the club's official website, Neuer said: "This is about all or nothing; only a win counts.

"It may be like any other Bundesliga game in that only three points can be won, but this game is particularly important to me. I want to win this game at all costs. We want to make our fans happy.

"Three points against Dortmund are immensely important in view of our games in March. We have to go to Leverkusen and Hamburg and the game against Stuttgart will also be difficult.

"Yet we are not afraid of any opponent in the Bundesliga. We know what we can do and we are not third in the league by a fluke."
