Middlesbrough must treat every game as a final starting with Monday's home fixture against Arsenal as they battle for Premier League survival, goalkeeper Victor Valdes has said.
The Teesside club, who are second-bottom and six points adrift of the safety zone, are on a 14-game winless league run, with their last victory coming in December.
Valdes is hopeful Middlesbrough can perform a rescue act despite having to face four of the top six clubs in the last seven games of the campaign.
'Every game now is a final for us, in the position we're in,' Valdes told the club's website.
