Omer Riza says Cardiff City have “no other option” than to beat fellow strugglers Luton Town in their Championship relegation scrap on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).
The Hatters are bottom-but-one in the table, five points adrift of Cardiff, who occupy the place directly above the relegation zone.
Both teams go into the game at the Cardiff City Stadium after weekend defeats to promotion contenders.
Luton suffered a 4-0 thrashing at Burnley, while Cardiff went down 2-1 against Sunderland.
“It’s another must-win game,” said Bluebirds boss Riza.
“We are at home, our form hasn’t been too bad at home. They are in the position that they are in and we need to win.
“It’s a massive game, they’re in trouble, we’re in trouble and we need to get three points, there’s no other option.”
