Kieran Richardson: 'West Bromwich Albion game is a must win'

Kieran Richardson has told his Fulham teammates that their clash against West Bromwich Albion is a "must win".

The Cottagers, who travel to The Hawthorns with new boss Felix Magath in charge for the first time, are bottom of the Premier League, four points behind the Baggies.

"It is a must-win game for us. They are in the same boat as us and it is going to be even harder than our last two games, against Manchester United and Liverpool," Richardson is quoted as saying by the Daily Star.

"They have not got the same quality as those other two teams but their passion and desire is going to be up there with ours.

"Signs of improvement have been there but we need to kick on. We will not be complacent because it is going to be hard to beat them. We can't go there and lose."

Fulham have won just three times on the road so far this season.
