It takes a lot to get most sensible football managers to call a game 'must-win' but ahead of Hull City's Championship trip to Middlesbrough, both have gone there.
Time is running out on both sides' play-off hopes. Hull have six games to make up the gap to the top six and Boro, above them on goal difference, just five. Norwich City are due to play four more after Tuesday’s scheduled game at Sheffield Wednesday. With FA Cup semi-finalists Coventry City, who were at Southampton on Tuesday, also in the race, even the normally guarded Michael Carrick admitted the Teessiders might have to win all five.
'I've played against Michael twice , twice away from home where we've won one and lost one,' he said. 'Both of us, we just want to win anyway, I don't think it changes anything. 'It may make it more exciting at the end if the game's even and things like that, but I think both of us prepare our teams to win, no matter who we play against. It's going to be a really good game and I'm looking forward to it. We need to be at it, and this is it.
