Mark Hughes getting nervous over Manchester City results

Mark Hughes admits he is under growing pressure after watching Manchester City slump to a seventh straight Premier League draw.

The City boss faces a potential make-or-break week with Wednesday's Carling Cup quarter-final tie with Arsenal, followed by Saturday's trip to Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Hughes knows City owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak expect more, having handed their manager £200million to spend over the past 14 months.

And with big-names bosses like Guus Hiddink, Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini ready to answer City's call, Saturday's 1-1 draw with Hull was a major blow to Hughes.

But the City boss insisted his conversations with the club's hierarchy had not focused on the thorny subject of his future, despite the team's disappointing run of results.

"It's not an issue yet," said Hughes. "There's pressure to get results, every manager will tell you that. But we're still very much in the mix at the top of the Premier League.

"We're obviously disappointed with the run of draws, but we'll keep going because we've got a big week ahead of us.

"We've got Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup on Wednesday and we want to progress in that competition.

"We've got two great games coming up which I'm sure will help us. We always try to be positive and we'll try to be positive on Wednesday.

"Hopefully we can get a positive result and we'll then be in great shape to face Chelsea next Saturday.

"It's not a case of looking back. There's no point in doing that. There's nothing you can do about it.

"What you do is take on board the lessons you know you have to. We'll look at the game again, go through each and every element of it and hope to be better next time out."
