QPR boss Mark Hughes insists he's not gunning for revenge ahead of Sunday's showdown with Manchester City.

Rangers need a point at the Etihad Stadium to guarantee Premier League survival – a result which could see City blow their title hopes - but will escape relegation if rivals Bolton fail to win at Stoke.

Hughes was axed by the Blues two-and-a-half years ago, but the Welshman says all he's focused on is helping the R's beat the drop.

He said: "People keep throwing that word [revenge] up but it is not in my mind at all.

"From my point of view I am completely focused on what we have to do as you would expect.

"We have got a huge game and huge challenge. It is not going to be easy as Manchester City are an outstanding football team.

"The prize they are going for is obviously the ultimate prize and for us to deny them the opportunity to do that will be difficult.

"Everybody acknowledges that but the fact that this season has been so unpredictable means you can never say that a result is a given.

"That is certainly not how we're thinking and we intend to go there to get the points we need to be safe."
