Mark Hughes is adamant that Manchester City's current poor form is not an issue for the club's owners just yet.
City were held to their seventh successive Premier League draw on Saturday when Hull City earned a late point at Eastlands.
Hughes was left cursing his side's luck after referee Lee Probert awarded the Tigers an uncertain penalty in the final 10-minutes which Jimmy Bullard duly converted.
However the Welshman insists his team are still within touching distance of the top four and is backing City to put their poor form behind them and beat top of the table Chelsea next weekend.
"It's not an issue yet," he told the Daily Mirror.
"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 league.
"We've got two great games coming up which I'm sure will help us. If we can get a positive result on Wednesday we'll be in great shape for Chelsea."
