Mark Hughes has insisted that he is not focusing on the fact that this weekend's Premier League game against Watford will be his 100th fixture in charge of the club.

The Welshman, who has had managerial stints at Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers, joined Stoke in 2013.

"You always hope to win, but I'm not too bothered about that kind of landmark," Sky Sports News quotes Hughes as saying. "I think it's more about focusing on what the team is doing, and we are pleased with that.

"I do think the fact it is 100 games is good as it means I have lasted a little bit longer than I did in my last job [at QPR]. Long may it continue."

Stoke are currently 11th in the league table.
