Fulham manager Martin Jol has denied that he is under pressure.

The London side have made a poor start to the season and lost to Championship side Leicester City in the League Cup last night.

Jol had been under pressure ahead of the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace last Monday but a 4 - 1 victory game him a reprieve.

Speaking after last night's defeat, the Dutchman denied that he felt under pressure and said there are six or seven managers in a worse position than he is at the moment.

"I don't feel pressure because we're not bottom of the league. There are six or seven other teams on similar points and lower," he said.

The Cottagers are currently 14th in the league but just two points above the drop zone.
