Federico Fazio has highlighted the importance of beating Hull City on Sunday as Tottenham Hotspur try to change their recent Premier League fortunes.
Spurs have lost three out of their last four top-flight matches to drop to 12th in the table.
The Argentine defender, who joined from Sevilla for £8m in the summer, anticipates a "difficult" test at the KC Stadium, but has urged his teammates to come together to correct their alarming dip in form.
"We need to change our fortunes," he told the club's official website. "Hull away is a difficult game to play, but we need to think only about the game and the three points.
"I have seen Hull on the TV this year and also last year but this is a match where we need to think only about ourselves.
"We have to be together on the pitch and we need to improve as a team."
Fazio has been sent off twice in eight appearances for Spurs in all competitions this season.
