Swansea City's Michael Laudrup targets win over Fulham

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has described this weekend's meeting with Fulham as one of their most important games of the season.

The Swans sit two points above the relegation zone, with Laudrup admitting that they must start turning their performances into results.

"I know all managers – myself included – say that all the games are important but, for me, this is one of the most important games of our next 12," he told the club's official website.

"We have to take the fantastic second-half performance against Stoke into this game. It is so important that we bring that performance but, most importantly, get the result.

"We have to collect some points over the next nine league games, then after the game against Aston Villa on December 28, we will be halfway through the season. We can then see how many points we have and how things are going."

Swansea are currently 13th in the Premier League table with 12 points.
