Tony Gale: 'Fulham must beat Cardiff City'

Former Fulham defender Tony Gale has claimed that the team must beat Cardiff City on Saturday if they want to stay in the Premier League.

The Cottagers, who are currently four points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table, make the trip to South Wales to face their fellow strugglers.

"Cardiff is a match I think we've got to win because the games are running away from us now," Gale told Fulham's official website. "We probably need five wins and two draws out of the last 10 games.

"This is one where not only have we got to win it, but they've got to win it as well. That's a good thing because they'll have to come at us and I've seen enough of them to think that we can go and win this game."

Fulham head to Cardiff looking to end an eight-match winless run.
