Tony Pulis says there are "absolutely no problems" between him and Mark Hughes as Stoke prepare to host QPR.

On the face of it, Saturday's game appears to have 'must win' stamped all over it given Stoke are 15th with just one win from their opening 10 matches and QPR still searching for their first win. But at such an early stage in the season, Pulis is more concerned his side turn performances into results. He added: "We need a break. Look at Norwich's goal (in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat) where the ball comes off the top of his (Bradley Johnson's) head and flies into the top corner. We need something like that. "The disappointing thing is we've players who have goals in them. The one thing I didn't think we'd have a problem with this season is scoring goals. "But things like this happen so you have to make sure everybody stays nice and calm, keeps the belief, keeps the faith."
